    The marsware tool "mdir" is easier to use in my opinion than cipher but costs $.

    	Does anyone know a slick way to find encrypted files on a running Win2K/XP machine?  If I am tasked with seizing one, and find it on and logged in, it would be nice to be able to identify files encrypted with Windows before I pull the plug.  It seems to me the only way to do it is to view the attributes in Windows Explorer - but short of clicking down through the whole tree, I don't see how to find encrypted files that are in non-encrypted folders or a level or two down...
    
    	Anyone with ideas on this?
