Introduction:
When you delete a file, it is not really erased - it still exists on your hard drive, even after emptying it from the Recycle Bin. This allows you (and others) to recover the files you have deleted.
If you do not pay attention, it will also allow other people to recover your confidential files, even if you think you have deleted them. This is a particularly important concern when you dispose of a computer or hard drive.
In Windows 10, administrators can use the Cipher.exe command to encrypt and decrypt data on drives using the NTFS filesystem and to view the encryption status of files and folders from a command prompt window. An updated version of the Cipher tool has been released for Windows 2000 and is included with Windows XP. The updated version adds another security option.
