DpapiProtectedConfigurationProvider - File Location.

A previous post was GREAT in getting me to this point in encyrpting my
connection string. "Help Encrypting Connection String" in this fourm.

What I did not understand is the steps to complete the encyrption
process.

Is it correct that I should

1) upload the web.config, and then

2) use the code at:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.dpapiprotectedconfigurationprovider.aspx

to create a simple page and then access that page to encrypt the
string? And if so can I delete this page after I run it?

Thanks for any help.
