    Or in Windows Explorer (at least in Windows XP Pro, which I'm running now) add file
    attributes to the list of columns in the file display and encrypted files will show an
    'E'. (To add attributes right-click the column titles and select 'Attributes').

    there is a tool called "efsinfo" in Win2k Resource kit. It does just that, ie displays
    the encryption staus for the files in the curent folder.

    Subiect: Identifying Win2K/XP Encrypted Files
    
    
    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?
