This tip works with Windows 2000 (NTFS 5) and later

These 2 functions are defined in windows.pas, but they're defined wrong. In this

function EncryptFile(lpFilename: PChar): BOOL; stdcall;
 external advapi32 name 'EncryptFileA';

function DecryptFile(lpFilename: PChar; dwReserved: DWORD): BOOL; stdcall;
 external advapi32 name 'DecryptFileA';

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
 if not EncryptFile('c:\temp') then
 ShowMessage('Cannot encrypt directory.');
end;

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
 if not DecryptFile('c:\temp', 0) then
 ShowMessage('Cannot decrypt directory.');
end;
