Hello,

How can I securely transfer files using a recordable CD from one XP to the
other.
The XP Pro's native file encryption works only in the same HD. The moment
the file is copied to any other media it disables its security feature.

Is there any Microsoft product or a Freeware software that does not expire
nor has a number of files limitation for this purpose?

I would recommend using Truecrypt. www.truecrypt.org

You can create an encrypted volume on a CD-R/RW DVD-R/RW and use that.
You can also create a Traveller Disk on the same CD/DVD so that when
Autoplay starts, it can start the Truecrypt also. I believe you will
need Admin privileges if Truecrypt is not installed and started on
each machine.

What about a USB key? Grab a cheap 2.0 GB SanDisk Cruzer USB key and
enable its internal encryption located on the key itself.
