How do you encrypt a folder in XP?

Will the folder show in Explorer and can it be copied to another drive
in that format?
 
Hi,

Some warnings about encrypting data:

- Upon using encryption, immediately create a Recovery agent and export the
encryption certificate. Without these, you may lose access to those files
permanently in the event of a system failure.
