Windows XP Home lacks file encryption. XP Pro does have file encryption
capability.

well...you certainly have done your homework...your probably the 7,148,952
person to ask that...try and do a bit of searching on your own...then ask
some specfice regarding the diff......anyway.....it's good for your own
good......

My my, aren't you charming. Another self appointed guardian of internet
propriety. Tell me, were you stamping your little foot in anger when you
typed that? You know what Jack, it took you at least as long to make your
insulting, smart-assed response as it did the helpful people who conveyed
useful information to make theirs. There are many ways to obtain
information online, asking is just as valid as searching. Some people
actually ENJOY helping others, remote as that may seem to your psychology.
A review of your recent posts here reveals you to be an example of a
personality all too common in online discussions; an obnoxious little
schmuck who probably doesn't have the self esteem to look another human
being in the eye when relating face to face, so he takes his frustrations
out via the safe distance of email by sniping at sincere people making
honest inquiries. Don't like a question? Think it doesn't reflect enough
effort on the part of the poster? Or maybe the subject line doesn't meet
your exacting standards, or whatever else your "at war with humanity"
sensibility finds lacking in the other person's effort? Then here's an
idea: Don't reply, you crabby, insignificant little mean-spirited f**k.

PLONK, moron.

Thanks again to those who HELPED.
