After the basic user account is set up, you can perform the

Using the Personal Secure Drive

After setting up the PSD, you are prompted to enter the Basic
User Key password at the next logon. If the Basic User Key
password is entered correctly, you can access the PSD directly
from Windows Explorer.
Encrypting files and folders
When working with encrypted files in Windows XP Professional,
consider the following rules:
Only files and folders on NTFS partitions can be encrypted.
Files and folders on FAT partitions cannot be encrypted.
System files and compressed files cannot be encrypted, and
encrypted files cannot be compressed.
Temporary folders should be encrypted, because they are
potentially of interest to hackers.
A recovery policy is automatically set up when you encrypt a
file or folder for the first time. This policy ensures that if you
lose your encryption certificates and private keys, you will be
able to use a recovery agent to decrypt your data.
