I tend to agree... "decrypt" sounds better than "unencrypt".

From a technical standpoint, what you're doing is actually "Mounting
the Encrypted Directory", which makes it readable, and "Unmounting the
Encrypted Directory" makes it unreadable again.

Those terms would be more true to form, of what's actually being done.

But perhaps too technical for the target audience? Thoughts?
