I have a question about filevalut, so it encrypts the home folder. but most of the files i have are on the desktop. Does Filevalut encrypt them as well, or does it only encrypt the home folder?

Hi Roger Dodger,
I moved your post to a new thread, that old thread is too outdated now.

cool, thanks

Your Home Folder includes the Desktop for the current User Account. So I think it does. However, I would recommend against using FileVault.

Your home folder includes everything in the folder that is named [your username] (usually your full name).
File Fault is kinda overkill. If you want to encrypt information, use Disk utility to make a Encrypted Disk Imaged
FileVault Question!
