EFS 1

[dleggett]

Could someone help me out with EFS. I have encrypted the folder that I wanted. Then I have created the .pfx file and the .cer file using the cipher /r:filename command. Am I mistaken in the reading or is there a way I can move these files to say a flash drive to keep in a stored location or does each user that encrypts folders need a copy of this to stay on the hard drive? Exporting them to the CD, floppy drive, or flash drive; is just for backup purposes only? I was a little confused with that part of it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help linney. I will try this as soon as I can absorb all of this information. I have looked all over the Internet (at least I thought). Thanks again.
