Creating Super Secret or Encrypted files on an XP computer share--
Hi everyone! A rather unusual question, but hope someone can advise.
I am the Network Administrator for my company. My CEO and his assistant (there office is offsite from the main company) have an XP computer at their location. File sharing is enabled on this XP computer, and there is a shared directory on it that the CEO and his assistant have access to. This computer is only accessible from within the CEO's office. I access it remotely using the local administrator account to do occasional things such as updates, etc. Since he puts sensitive company files on it, I would like to know if there is a way that it can be secured or enrypted so that not even myself---with a local computer administrator account---have access to the "super secret" directory on this computer. Is there something in Windows that would allow this, or perhaps some third-party program? Any advice is appreciated! |

If they are decent with computing and backups - just look into any third party encryption tool. TrueCrypt comes to mind. But it is easy to lose data too - just forget that password. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
