After encrypting, and they have all turned green. I created the key and made a password. But after clicking finish, how do I find it again to back it up (the certificate). And what happens when I now want to encrypt something else, is it all automatically entered into the same certificate? Because I dont have any more entries in my system tray? Thank you

I’m confused. After jumping through the hoops, saving my encryption key, I created a new user called “Glub” and logged in as him. I could still access the files and run the videos I had supposedly protected. So could all my family. Curious, I now removed the disk drive and placed it in my daughter’s machine. All files still visible and no need for any encryption key. Am I missing something here? (Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate)
