    Hi,

    The subject lines should be pretty clear.

    Assuming one could get a copy of a file or folder, how difficult would
    it be to break the encryption? Are there commercial services that can
    do that? (My M.D. wants to know!)

    Is there any difference between W2K and XP encryption?

    Thanks a lot,

    Peter Kaufman MCP
