The Encrypting File System (EFS) is the built-in encryption tool in Windows used to encrypt files and folders on NTFS drives to protect them from unwanted access. EFS enables transparent encryption and decryption of files for your user account by using advanced, standard cryptographic algorithms. Any individual or app that doesn't possess the appropriate file encryption key cannot open any encrypted files and folders. Encryption is the strongest protection that Windows provides to help you keep your individual files and folders secure.

When you encrypt a file or folder with EFS in Windows 10, its icon will have a lock overlay at the top right corner to indicate that it's an EFS encrypted file or folder.

Sometimes you may lose track of all your encrypted files and need to create a list of them to find them all again.

This tutorial will show you how to create a list of all EFS encrypted files that belong to the current user on all NTFS local drives in Windows 10.

The following tutorial will help you to list all the Encrypted files on all local drives in a single text file in Windows 10. You can perform the same steps for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Vista too. There are several commands related to encrypted files which will serve different purposes. The commands can create a list of encrypted files and update the list accordingly, create the file without updating, add hidden encrypted files etc. All these information will be contained within a text file of the same name and located on your desktop.

Microsoft provides you the encryption facility through the Encryption File System tool. The EFS is the built-in tool in the Windows Operating System that provides encryption to your folders to give you protection so that your important and sensitive data stay away from evil and unwanted access.

When you apply encryption to any file or folder, a lock sign will appear on that particular folder or file and the lock sign shows that folder or file is protected or encrypted.

Sometimes you forget that where you put your encrypted files and folders in your System because you were planning to give more protection by hiding those files to some protected place. And when you need that file or folder, your mind can’t help you out that where you had put your encrypted files.
