| |Use the **Encrypt to** functionality |
  1. Open File Explorer on the desktop, right-click a decrypted file, and then click **Encrypt to** from the **Encrypt to** menu.

    WIP should encrypt the file to your Enterprise Identity.

  2. Make sure that the newly encrypted file has a **Lock** icon.
  3. In the **Encrypted to** column of File Explorer on the desktop, look for the enterprise ID value.
  4. Right-click the encrypted file, and then click **Not encrypted** from the **Encrypt to** menu.

    The file should be decrypted and the **Lock** icon should disappear.

| |Verify that Windows system components can use WIP |
  1. Start Windows Journal and Internet Explorer 11, creating, editing, and saving files in both apps.
  2. Make sure that all of the files you worked with are encrypted to your configured Enterprise Identity. In some cases, you might need to close the file and wait a few moments for it to be automatically encrypted.
  3. Open File Explorer and make sure your modified files are appearing with a **Lock** icon
  4. Try copying and pasting, dragging and dropping, and sharing using these apps with other apps that appear both on and off the allowed apps list.

    **Note**
    Most Windows-signed components like Windows Explorer (when running in the user’s context), should have access to enterprise data.

    A few notable exceptions include some of the user-facing in-box apps, like Wordpad, Notepad, and Microsoft Paint. These apps don't have access by default, but can be added to your allowed apps list.

| |Use WIP on FAT/exFAT systems |
  1. Start an app that uses the FAT or exFAT file system and appears on your allowed apps list.
  2. Create, edit, write, save, and move files.

    Basic file and folder operations like copy, move, rename, delete, and so on, should work properly on encrypted files.

  3. Try copying and moving files or folders between apps that use NTFS, FAT and exFAT file systems.
