encrypion

Well, in a nutshell when I go into folder properties to encrypt my folder under the the advance button, the box to encrypt contents to secure data is shaded out. I've checked and the drive is NTFS under XP Home Edition. What's the problem?

XP Home Edition does not include EFS. You must upgrade to XP Pro.
