Casey,
You can see if a folder is encrypted just by looking at it. If the text
following the icon is green, then EFS is doing it's thing on this folder.
This can be changed by right clicking on the folder, choosing advanced on
the general tab and unchecking Encrypt the contents to secure data. This is
not on by default, by the way. I don't know of any way to find these
folders other than looking through the file structure in Windows Explorer.
Hope this helps!

I don't know if it will work with Vista. I'm on my XP pc right now. Try the
cipher command.
cipher /s:c:\ /q > "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\encrypted.txt"
This will list all the folders on C:\ and their encryption status in a file
called encryption.txt in My Documents.
Let us know if it works in Vista.
