I installed W7 on a new machine last Monday and suddenly, today, I start getting nagged to backup my file system encryption key.
As far as I'm aware I haven't encrypted anything but it's a bit worrying nontheless.
Can anyone tell me how to ensure that none of my files are being encrypted or why this nag screen has suddenly started to appear (and how to make it go away if its safe to do so)?

Were you looking/playng around with BitLocker? (which is the encryption thingie)
No. I have no interest in encrypting anything which is why the balloon message is a bit worrying. I don't want to find that at some stage in the future (e.g if W7 has to be reinstalled) all my files are suddenly unreadable.
