Yep, you are correct. It is RC4-40bit, I believe. Problem is, it is
NOT just password protected. It uses a mini-PKI (unless you have a real
PKI) and only that user's cert or the admin's can recover it. If both
certs are lost, so is your data.
As a side, the laptop recovered last fall by a reporter from CNN that
was formally a computer used by Al-Qaeda had the hard drives encrypted
with Win2k EFS. The FBI was able to brute force the 40bit keyspace in a
week and discover the data!

Doesn't Win2K's encrypted file system support this?
Sorry if I'm wrong, not a Windows kinda guy.
