    Hello,

    is it possible to place the decryption key for EFS on an external media like
    USB-Stick or floppy or CD to use it from there for decryption? Or has it to
    be stored on hard disk?

    If it could be stored external this would sovle many security problems and
    reduce cost of security.
    If it doesn't work, who has experience about other directory / file
    encryption software working transparent.
    I would like to secure e-mail adresses, mails and some more stuff which is
    kept in few direcories.
    I am not a specialist in security questions, just searching for a solution
    for some stand alone laptops.

    Who knows and can tell me?

    Thanks a lot ahead

            Thomas Weigel
