What I wish to convey is that _even_ if I encrypt all my files and drives, _if_ I open one of them while on a networked environment I could potentially create a loophole i.e. the un encrypted version may have a temp file that is saved on a network drive ... ? I felt this is a major loophole to be plugged by anyone who works on a networked machine I did not know this. I did not think on those lines until recently. When I thought of it I wanted to share it here Regards maniams
