Hi,

Got a feeling I might already know the answer to this, but...

EFS allows multiple users to access the same encrypted file system.

Can these users simultanously access separate files within this file
system? (or does all the encrypted data act as one big encrypted
file?)

Thanks for any thoughts...

Matt

PS: If they can't access at the same time, can anyone think of a
product which would let them do this?
