AFAIK the process for adding more encryptors to the EFS process is
more likely the process used to add a "Recovery Agent" for the user,
so that if the user account got corrupted, or an administrator forces
the user's password (both cases makes the encrypted files
unrecoverable) the Recovery Agent can recover the information. If I
remember well on XP the default user marked as Recovery Agent is the
Administrator user account, while on Server platforms this function
is not explicitly defined (that is: no recovery agent is defined for
a user's encryption certificate). 

I may be wrong, but I am sure I have studied it this way.

Having seen Laura's posts in the past, I'd trust her hands-on experience
vs. your "studied it this way" any day.

Especially since a trivial Google landed the following:
