I cannot get any results from the WindowsXP pro help section on how to encrypt files and folders.
What I want is:
A particular folder that I can encrypt, and this will automatically encrypt all files put into it. Then to open the folder to read the files a password would be required.
Please help, Frank
Do *NOT* use Windows Encrypting File Service to encrypt anything until you have read and become familiar with -- and commit to follow -- all of the Best practices for the Encrypting File System: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223316
In particular, read and follow the advice under "Why you must back up your certificates," or eventually you WILL be sorry. The article means what it says: "there is no way to recover data that has been encrypted with a corrupted or missing certificate."
