does cipher comand work in me?

Thatks Jad, that worked. New problem, after issuing the cipher command, the
return is it isn't there, so after much looking on the web, finding a
download for win2K that wouldn't install, finally grabbed it off my xp cd.
Thing is, it's file name is cipher.ex_
It was in the i186 folder or something like that, anyhow, how do I extract
it?
Thanks,
Mike
