Just to add to what Brian's comments you may want to inform the helpdesk or
your administrator of what happened to hopefully help prevent this from
happening to other users if there is no domain Recovery Agent. They should
routinely ask/remind users to see if they are using EFS encryption before
anything is done to alter the users profile or reinstall the operating
system. The link below may be helpful to someone in your organization and
for Windows 2000 someone should always try logging on as the built in
administrator account for the computer to try and access and decrypt the
files [they may need to take ownership first] since by default that would
be the Recovery Agent and the local RA private key probably is still on the
computer. Also if your data was very important there is a possibility that
you may be able to recover your EFS private key [stored in user profile]
since deleted files are usually not really deleted right away and there are
many programs that will attempt to recover deleted files. If that is the
case you may however need the help of paid Microsoft support to attempt to
recover the files. --- Steve
