Hello,

using w2k on laptos we would like to keep there some sensible data too.
Searching for a solution EFS looked fine till I found the EFS backdoor
problem mentioned in 2002.
Where booting from a floppy, changing the password of the user (using
certain programms) grants access to the encrypted directories and files
too...

I did not find any article about this problem (the only link I found, is
worthless because of the new structure of MS-homepage...)
I did not find any information searching for patches and within the service
packs.
Has the problem not been solved yet? If it has been solved, where can I find
the solution?
I would prefer to use the Windows 2000 EFS rather than a third party
solution or updating to XP.

thanks ahead and kind regards
