thank you, someone that actually has constructive input to offer...
you are correct. after i RTF-Win2000-M, i found the following:
----------------------
Accessing encrypted data
Users access encrypted files just as they do unencrypted files. Thus, when a
user accesses an encrypted file that is stored on disk, the user is able to
read the contents of the file in the normal way. When the user stores the
file on disk again, EFS transparently encrypts the file again.
Only the user that encrypted a file can access it later. This is assured
because users have private keys that allow them access to their own
encrypted files. If another user tries to access an encrypted file, that
user receives an Access Denied message.
----------------------
so i am assuming that anything that runs as a service or using a system
account (IIS, CF, SQL Server, backup server) will not be able to read a file
that is encrypted by me using the Win2000 file encryption. that's an
important feature, i'd say.
