I am running XP home with NTFS file system and I can't
figure out how to encrypt files or folders. I right
click the folder choose properties then click the
advanced button, the "Encrypt contents to secure data"
box is greyed out. I can't check it. Do I have to turn
something on first? Thanks

Hi Michael,

you can't use EFS (Encrypted File System) on Windows XP Home edition. It is
only supported on Windows XP Professional.
