Hi, SO is not a scriptwriting service. Please provide at least an example of your work (btw, what you want to achieve is possible and actually very easy using Powershell) — bluuf

Please provide a code sample of your own work so far. Using the default Windows encryption is very easy using Powershell, but before I will post an answer I need to see what you have written so far (SO is not a script writing function). As a hint : try doing Get-Item on a file (stick it in a variable) and then call the Encrypt() function... — bluuf

I even don't know what command is used for encryption in powershell. — Ghufran Ataie

For Encryption and Decryption the Encrypt() and Decrypt() functions use as the Following line

(get-Item -path "c:\Users\UserName\Desktop\file.txt").Encrypt()
(get-Item -path "c:\Users\UserName\Desktop\file.txt").Decrypt()
