EFS is not fully supported on Home Premium. Full support is provided only in
Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate. To see a description of the EFS
functionality that is provided in Home Premium, open "Help and Support" on
your system and search for "What is Encrypting File System (EFS)?" The
documentation provides a good listing of what to expect.

Thanks.

Hi,
When I go to the security check tab of a folder or file I want to encrypt it
is greyed
out. Home Premium doesn't come with built in encryption? Thanks in advance.
