Encrypting connection strings in multiple ASP.NET MVC configuration files?

Question

I am working on an MVC web application which of course has multiple configuration files. My connection string is there in a number of files.

How I can encrypt connection string in all files? Will aspnet_regiis automatically encrypt in all files or just in web.config?
