The most recent I have heard is that the changes suggested to
effect an unavoidable "caution notice" to first users all have
difficulties in implementing them now, after the fact, without
causing conflict in other areas.

So, folks should read the info that has been made available
in the MS XP website on using EFS in XP.

It has been suggested to them by several MVPs numerous times, and is being
looked into.  I don't know if they'll be able to get a fix into XP or not
though.  It will certainly be in the next OS.
