PsPad text files have a padlock?

Posted by: EL34 | Date: 2024-08-08 16:36 | IP: IP Logged

This just started happening.

Not sure why, but newly saved PsPad text files have a padlock on the icon?

I do not have Bitlocker turned on in Windows 11, but I did encrypt a text file the other day using 7 zip.

I did not encrypt the text files in question here.

I looked in PsPad setting to see on some sort of encryption was turned on but don't see anything
Why is this happening?
Thanks

I figured it out

It was only happening to files on my desktop which is where I had originally created a password protected file in 7 zip

If you right click on the folder and
choose properties - advanced - then uncheck Encrypt contents to secure data

Not sure why Windows 11 checked this box because I have never encrypted files

Anywho, problem is not a PSPad issue, it is a Windows issue
