The right way to do this is to encrypt the entire file system, with the necessary key *not* stored on the machine. (Generally on a USB key you pull out and take with you.) The way Windows does it necessarily stores the key on the machine; it's not really what one would call robust encryption. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
