Hi,

I have been asked to identify all the password protected files on our
network and am wondering if someone might have an example?

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a commercial/shareware/freeware
utility for this? A quick Google search found a few utilities for
finding files like this but I know nothing about them. We are mostly
interested in Word, Excel and PowerPoint type files.

Thanks in advance,
Linn

Seeing that you frequently post questions in newsgroups, I suggest you
familiarise yourself with the concept of "cross-posting". You multiposted
this particular question, which causes duplication of effort and is
therefore much frowned upon - see here:
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm.
Don't see the problem, this is a question that spans multiple disciplains.
Someone in this group might have had the answer but doesn't read the other
group or visa versa, how am I supposed to get the most accurate
information without cross posting? That's like saying it's Ok to Google
one web site but not another.

Sorry if I offended anyone, just trying to solve a problem.

Thanks for the help,
Linn

Sorry, you missed my point entirely. You did not *crosspost* - you
*multiposted*. Crossposting involves placing several newsgroup names into
the Address field so that everybody in every newsgroup can see your post and
reply to it. You did not do this - you created several independent threads
in different newsgroups so that respondents could not see the replies from
other newsgroups.

Please read the information once more in the link I gave you before. It
tells you clearly that crossposting, when done in moderation, is fine and
that multiposting causes duplication of effort.
