Solution
This is true whether or not an Embedded Security TPM
is installed.
EFS does not require a
password to view
encrypted files in
Windows 2000.
If a user sets up the Embedded Security,
logs on as an administrator, then logs off
and back on as the administrator, the
user can subsequently see files/folders
in Windows 2000 without a password.
This occurs only in the first administrator
account on Windows 2000. If a
secondary administrator account is
being logged into, this does not occur.
This is as designed.
It is a feature of EFS in Windows 2000. EFS in Windows
XP, by default, will not let the user open files/folders
without a password.
Software should not be
installed on a restore with
FAT32 partition.
If the user attempts to restore the hard
drive using FAT32, there will be no
encrypt options for any files/folders using
EFS.

Microsoft EFS is supported only on NTFS and will not
function on FAT32. This is a feature of Microsoft's EFS

Cannot save emergency
recovery archive to

If the user inserts an MMC or SD card
when creating the emergency recovery
archive path during Embedded Security
Initialization, an error message is
displayed.
This is as designed.
Storage of the recovery archive on removable media is
not supported. The recovery archive can be stored on
a network drive or another local drive other than the C
drive.
Cannot encrypt any data
in the Windows 2000
French (France)
environment.
There is no
Encrypt
selection when
right-clicking a file icon.
This is a Microsoft operating system limitation. If the
locale is changed to anything else (French (Canada),
for example), then the
Encrypt

To work around the problem, encrypt the file as follows:
right-click the file icon and select
