Finding encrypted files
Posted by Michael W on October 11th, 2005


Is there a way to find or search for encrypted files on a hd, my system
tells me it has them but I don't recall doing it and if I did I don't know
which they are. Any help appreciated.

There is a command line program "cipher" which will do this. Open a cmd
prompt and type cipher /? for the parameters. /n /u should do it.
