I have a folder in W2k Advanced Server which is encrypted. I can not access
any files within this folder either under the admin account or user account
with admin rights. I keep getting an error message that says the file is not
accessible. When I try to remove encryption from the Properties General tab I
also get an error. Can someone please provide me with feedback on how to
remove encryption and access these files.

Thank you.
