Juan,
Thanks a lot for a detailed answers to my questions.
Unfortunately I still can't fix the problem.
I can't uncheck "Explorer\Tools\Folder Options\View\ "Use simple file
sharing (recommended)." This option doesn't show up in the both mode - Safe
and Normal.
In both cases the last line in View tab is "Show pop up decryption for
folder and desktop action".
Somehow "Use simple file sharing (recommended)." disappeared.
