EFS (Encrypting File System)

[Jason]

Using WinXP Home SP1 w/ NTFS FS. I'm having problems
enabling EFS for any folder since its greyed-out. I
don't have Disk Compression or Indexing enabled. Any
help appreciated. Thanks.

EFS is not available in Windows XP Home.
If you want EFS, you need to get Windows XP Pro, #3 on the link:

Thanks Jupitor. I have WinXP Pro. I will try it. I
don't see why it would even appear in "Home" then.

Before you use EFS, read the documentation in step 5 of this link:
