You cannot add a group key. No such thing. You can add other user keys one at a time and it must be done at the file 
level and one at a time(i.e. not applied to a folder or done with multiple files selected). Also the UI for doing this 
only appears in XP/2003. Just goto Properties for file, Advanced, Details and you'll see what to do from there.

Note this will add more size to file as a new stream will be added that is encrypted for that user. Don't go overboard 
adding ten people to a multi-megabyte file or saving could get tedious.
