The file cipher.exe is included with the service pack, but is not installed
because EFS isn't part of XP Home. You can expand the file, but I don't
think it's going to do you much good other than to view what level of
encryption is on a file. There are freebie encryption programs out there,
though:

This is a decent place to start if you're looking for something other than
XP Pro.

To SC Tom... I found the information in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827014
where it says that cipher is included with Windows XP.
Now that I have checked all the directories suggested by nass and found no
cipher.exe I suppose that means it is not included in the Home Edition.
Next question: Can I add it to the Home Edition somehow?

I have Windows XP Home edition version 5.1 with service pack 3
I cannot find the cipher.exe program. I was told it is included in
service
pack 3, which I have.
Can anyone tell me where to find it in the computer (i.e., which
folder it
is in)?.
Or, where can I download a version that will run on Windows XP (I
found a
site for downloading but it says it's for Windows 2000.
Thanks.
It is included with SP3; you can extract it if Search didn't find it
for
you.

Where did those say that EFS was included in SP-3 for the Home Edition
of Windows XP?
