Default Software to secure folder in XP Pro?

Hi

I have a customer with a Win2k domain & XP Pro workstations. The MD wants to secure his (NTFS) documents folder against anyone else accessing the folder. This includes the internal IT manager who of course has the server password & is able to change the MD's password from the server & then access his pc.

Does anyone know of any software that will secure a whole folder please?

Axcrypt is a good simple one for home use, will encrypt both folder and individual files

Errrrr, guys, XP Pro has encryption built in!!!!

Look up EFS, or Encrypted File System.

Why re-invent the wheel?
