hello,
i had this question in my mind for quite some time...
If efs is built to deny access of an encrypted file to a 2nd
person,then why
should he be given access to delete the same file??
I have tried this scenario where 2nd person was able to delete the file
encrypted by the 1st person...
efs is about securing ur info from others...whats its use if one can
just
delete ur confidential info??
Because EFS does not do that. It just encrypts so it can't be read. Set permissions on the file or folder if you want to control who can delete it.
