Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack Released

Microsoft has released a new High Encryption Pack for those running the final version of Windows 2000, which will upgrade your system to 128-bit encryption.

128-bit encryption provides the highest security to protect your important information. Because export laws block this level of encryption from being distributed in certain countries, Microsoft provides this upgrade as a separate download.

To install, simply download the pack to a floppy disk, and run the EXE file. Those running Windows 2000 Professional may download from:

Those running Windows 2000 Server may download via:

http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=win2000&sbp=server&ar=download&sba=crypto.

Once the High Encryption Pack has been installed, it may not be uninstalled. You only need to download this once, as all future upgrades of Windows 2000 will also update the Encryption Pack.
