How to Get Back Encrypted Pictures?

“I have encrypted a folder containing photos by using Windows built in utility. But, now that folder is converted to shortcut and it does not show any photos present in it. I don’t know what went wrong but I need those photos back. As I am not aware of using Windows Backup feature, I have not created its backup as well. Can anyone let me know whether it is possible to retrieve encrypted photos or I am just out of luck?”

Encryption is a feature of Windows operating system that you can utilize to save information on your hard drive in encrypted form. It is the best way to securely keep your photos and other files. Encrypting a file or folder is very easy; just right click upon particular photo or folder, then select a check box in the properties to turn it on. Even though your photos are in encrypted form, they may get lost in any situation as explained above.

• Virus or malware attacks on encrypted photos could turn healthy photos into shortcuts and you will not see anything except blank window when you try to open it
• You may accidentally choose encrypted photos to delete while removing unwanted files from Windows computer using Command Prompt

• Accidental deletion and disabling save option in Recycle Bin permanently erases deleted encrypted photos from computer hdd
