CIPHER

Encrypt or Decrypt files/folders.

Used without parameters, cipher displays the encryption
state of the current folder and any files it contains. NTFS
volumes only.

Syntax:

 Encrypt/Decrypt:
    CIPHER [{/e | /d}] [/s:Folder] [options] [/u[/n]] [{PathName [...]] 

 New recovery agent certificate:
    CIPHER /r:PathNameWithoutExtension

 Remove data:
    CIPHER /w:PathName

 Backup Keys:
    CIPHER /x[:PathName]

options:

   /e    Encrypt the folders.
         Folders are marked so that files that are added to
         the folder later are encrypted too.

   /d    Decrypt the folders.
         Folders are marked so that files that are added to
         the folder later are encrypted too.

   /s:Folder
         Performs the operation in the folder and all
         subfolders.

   /a    Perform the operation for files and directories.

   /i    Continue even after errors occur.
         By default, cipher stops when it encounters an
         error.

   /f    Force the encryption or decryption of all specified
         objects.
         By default, cipher skips files that have been
         encrypted or decrypted already.

   /q    Quiet - Report only essential information.

   /h    Display files with hidden or system attributes.
         By default, these files are not encrypted or
         decrypted.

   /k    Create a new file encryption key for the user
         running cipher.

   /u    Update the user's file encryption key or recovery
         agent's key to the current ones in all of the
         encrypted files on local drives (that is, if the
         keys have been changed).
         This option only works with /n.
   /n    Prevent keys from being updated.
         Use this option to find all of the encrypted files
         on the local drives.
         This option only works with /u. 

  PathName
         A pattern, file, or folder.

   /r:PathNameWithoutExtension
         Generate a new recovery agent certificate and
         private key, and then write them to files with the
         filename PathNameWithoutExtension.

   /w:PathName
         Remove data from unused portions of a volume.
         PathName can indicate any directory on the desired
         volume. Cipher does not obtain an exclusive lock on
         the drive. This option can take a long time to
         complete and should only be used when necessary.

   /x[:PathName] PathNameWithoutExtension
         Identifies the certificates and private keys used
         by EFS for the currently logged on user and backs
         them up to a file. If PathName is provided, the
         certificate used to encrypt the files is backed up.
         Otherwise, the user's current EFS certificate and
         keys will be backed up.
         The certificates and private keys are written to a
         file name PathNameWithoutExtension plus the file
         extension .pfx.

Cipher cannot encrypt files that are marked as read-only.

Cipher will accept multiple folder names and wildcard characters.
