   I asked Bing, and it pointed me to the page   
    | Control Panel > System ans Security > BitLocker Drive Encryption   
   ... which says:   
    | Windows (C:) BitLocker waiting for activation   
   ... with an option to "Turn on BitLocker"   
      
   I am GUESSING this means that the drive is not yet encrypted, but will   
   be as soon as I click that link?   
      
   I am REALLY confused now. I do NOT want my drive to be encrypted.
