Greetings;
We have a windows 2000/service pack 4 server with client financial data that
must be encrypted. Our PC's are Windows XP home and Pro, as well as Windows
2000 (all service packs installed). I used the Windows XP Pro Explorer to
change the attributes of some of the workstation files. but these still can
be read. I also have some databases from Clent Data Systems (ez-data.com)
that need to be encrypted.
Where can I get instructions on how to encrypt our data?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. I've printed out a few of the URLs and will see what I
can do.

Not a problem but the reason I gave the link is not just so you can start
using EFS - and it seems you're on the right track.

Long before you encrypt ANYTHING important learn HOW to restore the key, set
a recovery agent, and PRACTICE else you WILL get into a bind eventually. It
is not a matter of IF you get into one - it only a matter of time until you
WILL get into one. Practice, practice, and practice - on safe PCs with
non-production data sets. ;)
