Support for EFS (Encrypting File System)

[anonymous]

I've got my first Windows (8.1 Pro) with EFS support. I started using EFS and noticed that some of the FileCopy commands in my AutoIt scripts were no longer functioning properly.
If I FileCopy a "normal" (=no EFS) file, the FileCopy returns a 1=success.
But if I FileCopy an EFS encrypted file, the FileCopy returns a 0=failure.
The destination folder is located on my NAS (Network Attached Storage).
There are no problemens whilst copying/moving (EFS and non-EFS) files within the 2 hard drives in my PC.
If I drag&drop the file with Windows I get this nice little popup: "you are copying the file to a destination that does not support encryption" (with the possibility to stop or continue).

I think my problems are not new and may go back some years when Microsoft first introduced EFS.

I would like AutoIt to support EFS.

My suggestions:
1) FileGetAttrib command. A new ReturnValueLetter. For example the "E" for Efs.
2) FileCopy/FileMove commands. A new flag allowing an EFS encrypted file to be copied whilst losing its encryption.
3) A FileCopy/FileMove return code explaining the EFS-failed-reason.

I hope I've explained my problem/feature request properly (english is not my native language).
Thank you for "listening".

My workaround for now looks like this:

$Source = "D:\Test.txt"
$Dest = "N:\"
$Result = FileCopy($Source, $Dest, 1)
If $Result = 0 Then
    $Result = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "Copy /D """ & $Source & """ """ & $Dest & """", "",  @SW_MAXIMIZE) ;"/D" means "Allow the destination file to be created decrypted".
    If $Result <> 0 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Fail", "Both 'AutoIt FileCopy' and 'DOS Command Copy' failt!" & @LF & "Source=" & $Source  & @LF & "Dest=" & $Dest)
        Exit
    EndIf
EndIf
