You can download Efsinfo. There is the possibility that your EFS private key is
corrupt which is why it is always recommended to export and save a copy of it. You
might try to use cipher command to decrypt files [built in]. You also need at least
list/read/execute ntfs permissions to the folder/files to be able to
ncrytp/decrypt. --- Steve
