I need to encrypt the offline files for W2K laptop users,
but I'm not really sure where to apply the encryption.

Is it some database or cache somewhere? I have a Link to
it and can see all the files in a directory-less mess (as
if browsing a zip file). But I cant see things from above
to apply EFS.

If I get that far, I need to make sure the files I sync go
onto the server without EFS.

No budget for XP for the next 3 years :(
