You don't have to go to the control panel to activate it. The important thing is for people to learn that if you press "Alt" in windows you normally get the hidden menus that were visible in XP. So if you're in
any browser window you can press Alt, choose Tools, then Folder Options, just like in XP. No control panel necessary.
Thanks guys. So here's what I've learnt:
1) Yes, the encryption is on the file level within the kepubs.
2) on devices you don't have kepubs per se but rather the decompressed but still encrypted contents of kepubs (can't even open up the cover image file)
3) You can still get the kepubs that only work on devices. What you have to do is remove them form the device, open up a file browser and go to the kobo folder which contains the epub folder but don't open the epub folder (from what I understand this would be difficult as heck on an iOS device but easy on Android), switch back to the kobo app, redownload to the devices, then switch back to the file browser. Once back in the browser you will need to refresh if it doesn't automatically do so and you will see a .temp file with the kind of name DNSB sampled. If you keep refreshing at some point it will change from .temp to "downloaded" ("downloaded is added to the file name but is not an extension, it remains extensionless).
Now I just have to get around to seeing if I can de-DRM these on the computer so I have a backup (and am hopefully not be restricted to my tablet for a decent reading experience with these books).
