OK, I have a test folder that I decrypted about a year ago and suddenly I
can't access any of the files in it. Sure enough I can't decrypt it either.
I never made a recovery key using cypher, however after running efsinfo I
get:

C:\>EFSINFO /R /U /C dir h:\lanosrep
h:\
lanosrep: Encrypted
  Users who can decrypt:
    MY_DOMAIN\stanss [CN="Smith, Stan"]
    Certificate thumbprint: 9CDE D879 78AB B60B 99B9 8B41 FE44 B78B AFBC
6AA0
  Recovery Agents:
    MY_DOMAIN\Administrator [OU=EFS File Encryption Certificate, L=EFS,
CN=Admin
istrator]
    Certificate thumbprint: DE87 6F62 7BAA A9DC D597 FAB9 5D9F 259E E488
FE9A

>From that info I think I should be able to decrppt since I am "Stan Smith"
and I also am the domain administrator. I have logged onto both the local
machine and the server with both accounts but am not able to decrypt. Can I
save myself here, or am I screwed?
