You are responsible for tech support at your company. You have been instructed to make certain that all desktops support file and folder encryption. Which file system should you use when installing…

FAT does not support file-level security attributes or EFS, so encryption of individual files and folders is not possible.

EXT4 is a Linux file system and is not installable or usable as a Windows XP system volume.

FAT32 lacks the NTFS security descriptor model required by EFS and therefore cannot support file or folder encryption.

NTFS provides the security descriptor and access control infrastructure required by EFS (Encrypting File System), which is the Windows XP mechanism for transparent file and folder encryption. FAT-based file systems lack the security attribute support that EFS depends on, making NTFS the mandatory choice for encryption.
