      0 Seconds.

      I never actually tried opening it normally. The OP never set a password 😄

        Sat down at my work-station, down-loaded the file again.

        Double clicked...It opened.

        Opened the file inside.

        Copy pasted the text.

        Instant success, zero effort.

        Should have done that straight away, would have looked like a pro :bowtie:

            😳 I'm clearly a typical user! I'll try again in a bit.

              My second go. I've probably screwed this up as well!

              Proof, if any is needed, that the biggest threat to security is basic human error. All the software encryption in the world won't help if you're simply an idiot.

                    So double click test says....

                    There is a password stopping me from reading/extracting the file.

                    But I can see the "newsecretdoc.txt" file - Just can't read it yet.

                      Yeah, encrypting file names is optional in 7-zip.

                        Does the unencryption software have any problem getting started on it?

                          Not started it yet, merrily working away on other things.
