There is a file called ‘test.txt’ in the folder which content as the figure below.In this example, I’ll encrypt a folder called ‘Data’ and all files in this folder.You have to configure addtional steps on domain controller. For a computer that is joined to a domain, it’ll diferrent from here. They can login with your account and have all access as it was you.īelow, the example shows how to implement EFS on Windows XP Professional which is a stand-alone computer.
