    Hello b0yw0nder,

    The SIG lines in the .vbs script is the embedded code from the site's digital signature.

    I'm not aware of a way to have this script bypass UAC.

    Lock Drive to Context Menu of BitLocker Drives Invalid_Namespace error


    Hi Brink!
    Recently I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 which gave me a problem with your script (working just fine with Windows 10 thanks). I don't know if it's Windows 11 related but I solved my problem by
    re-registering the BitLocker WMI class (win32_encryptablevolume) with this command:
    mofcomp.exe c: \ windows \ system32 \ wbem \ win32_encryptablevolume.mof
    I just wanted to let you know if anyone else encounters the same error (Invalid_Namespace).
    Many thanks Brink for this shortcut, I can't do without it :)

    Batch File Installer


    I wrote a simple batch file to "install" this. It requests UAC admin privilages, copies the VBS file to system32, and imports the REG file to the registry.

    Code:
    @echo off
    cd /D "%~dp0"
    echo Requesting Admin..
    Net session >nul 2>&1 || (PowerShell start -verb runas '%~0' &exit /b)
    echo Admin Enabled..
    echo Copying lock-bde.vbs to c:\windows\system32..
    copy lock-bde.vbs c:\windows\system32
    echo Importing Add_lock-bde.reg to Windows Registry
    regedit.exe /S Add_lock-bde.reg
    echo All Done!
    echo.
    pause

    Hello Shawn,

    Windows 11 require a new way to add 'user/custom right-click menus to the explorer:
    Extending the Context Menu and Share Dialog in Windows 11 - Windows Developer Blog
    Right now, the user needs to go to the extra sub-menu "Show More Options" in order to lock the drive. Can you please update this so the command will be available at the top-level explorer right-click menu?

    Hello mate,

    I'll be happy to look into it to see what I can come up with when able. A bit under the weather and foggy headed right now.
