Whats with the MENC extension?
The files are stored on disk with a MENC extension – this lets the encryption filter know quickly which files are encrypted and if they match the key on the device. If you put the storage card in a desktop card reader, or put it in another device, you will see that the files have a MENC extension. The point of the extension is that you can’t read those files, so the extension makes it harder for you to try to load those files into an application that won’t be able to read them anyway. We also were able to associate a lock icon with the extension to add an additional hint. If the encryption filter on the device is able to read and decrypt the files, it hides the MENC extension so the file looks like normal.
