The following link: http://www.securiteam.com/windowsntfocus/6Q00H2A3FY.html

Outlines that the encryption process is already cracked and not very 
secure to begin with and there a several utilities out there already 
which can unencrypted the data into plaintext.

Hope that this helps, still useful as very basic deterant (particularly 
from endusers), but not something I would depend upon.
