The "Encrypt Contents to Secure Data" Check Box Is Unavailable

[Brady]

I already read the support file on this, but i am not
using W2k or have my region as french, so i'm not sure
what i should do. Any help is greatly appericated.

I'm using Windows XP Home.

XP home doesn't support the encrypted file system
You need XP pro for that
