In Windows XP, you can use Windows Explorer to encrypt or disable encryption on individual files or folders. To encrypt a file or folder:
1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder, and then select Properties.
2. On the General tab, click Advanced.
3. In the Advanced Attributes dialog box, select Encrypt Contents to Secure Data.
4. Click OK twice.
If the file or folder contains any files or subfolders, sthe Microsoft operating system displays a confirmation message that asks if you want to apply the changes to the folder only, or also to subfolders and files. If you select the Apply Changes To This Folder Only option, Windows does not encrypt any of the files that are in the folder. However, any new files that you create in the folder, including files that you copy or move to the folder, will be encrypted.
If you receive an error message when you attempt to encrypt or access an encrypted file or folder, it might indicate that EFS has been disabled on your computer by local or group policy.
