Writing "C:" is much shorter than writing "the local hard drive(s)". ;-)

I know nothing about file-level encryption on the Windoze platform (not 
something I ever use), but I would *presume* that for local user 
accounts, the encryption key is in the registry somewhere, whereas for 
network used accounts it'll be in the Active Directory somewhere [where 
the sysadmin can get at it].

I'm far more concerned about the fact that we routinely email stuff to 
people using password-protected Zip files, which are apparently 
trivially crackable. :-S Still, all those customers who are serious 
about security make us use some kind of SSH/SSL encrypted remote access 
system rather than just email. ;-)
