    I would like to be able to encrypt a file/folder on one machine and access
    it from another machine on the LAN; however this is in a workgroup
    environment; i.e., there is no Active Directory and no domain. I'd hoped
    that the normal workgroup logon (using same password and Userid) mechanism
    would work, but apparently it does not. When I try to access the encrypted
    file from another machine (while logged on using the same Userid and
    password) I get an "access denied" message.

    Is there any way to use file encryption in a workgroup environment?

    Thanks in advance,
     Bill
