When I use EFS to encrypt data for an account in XP, I can log into another

copy the EFS files to a different drive/partition, it can see the names of
these files, even rename them and delete them. Is there a way to use EFS to
block even the opening of an EFS protected folder from another admin
account?
I have an XP Pro machine that has a few users, all of whom are
administrators. I use the default build-in Administrator account to fix
problems and manage this machine. I use EFS to encrypt all the data created
with these other accounts. I do not want any of these users to be able even
to see the file names of the files created by the others. In fact, I don't
even want myself to be able to see this. In other words, I do not want any
backdoor to the files stored in EFS-encrypted folders, not even the ability
to open the folder to see what files are stored in it.
Sorry, you can't. Try a program like PGP if it's urgent.
