Encrypted documents can only be read with the personal key used to encrypted is installed on the machine, that's very useful for transporting documents that can be stoled. An encrypted folder makes the files copied to it to be automatically encrypted (windows default behavior). When an encrypted folder is moved or copied it should keep its ecrypted state (encrypted property). The problem is total commander do no keep the folder encrypted, only the files inside it. That is a risk, becouse new copyed, moved or created files inside the folder are not encrypted in the future.
TC should keep the ecnrypted state of the folders when moving or coying them.
Also it would be interesting if TC allows to copy files and folders "eliminating" the encryptation. In this way it won't be necesary to decrypt the folder after copying. Te files and folders would be decrypted on the fly.
Encrypted folders lose "encrypt property" on copyi

This 'default Windows behaviour' made me crazy many times when I wrote some file from encrypted folder to my USB stick in order to view it at home - and I couldn't read file just because I forgot to decrypt it! 
TC has some copy methods, default one ('til TC 7.50 as far I can remember) keeps encryption state since it uses Windows copy function - just check upper checkbox under Copy/Delete configuration page.
