If a file in the Windows directory gets encrypted by one user, the system and other users can't access it. Any attempt to encrypt a file in the Windows directory will return a file access denied error. But if you copy or drag and drop an encrypted file to the Windows directory, it will retain encryption to honor the intent of the owner.
