Here is what I've tried:
-imported old certificate and used RECCERTS.EXE to recover
-ran "EFSINFO.EXE /y" got thumbprint "D831 7101 FE0E C79E
C5DC 2BDD A9EE EB50 2B7E E461"
-ran "EFSINFO.EXE /c [path...]" got:
New Text Document.txt: Encrypted
Users who can decrypt:
ABSJAGUAR\terry (terry(terry@ABSJAGUAR))
Certificate thumbprint: "D831 7101 FE0E C79E C5DC
2BDD A9EE EB50 2B7E E461"
Net: my userid and thumbprint matched that of the
encrypted objects.
-then I tried to decrypt folders and other objects, but
always got "access denied" (tried many variations of
permissions: me (terry) as owner with Full Permissions;
owner as Administrator, "terry" at Full permissions...) I
always checked Effective Permissions to make sure "terry"
had Full Permissons, yet every time I cannot decrypt
objects.
-I tried a reset to "Simple File Sharing", still
got "access denied" on decryption attempts.
-Here is what may be the "master clue": I can encrypt a
file within an unencrypted folder that contains other
encrypted objects within it, but I cannot decrypt the file
I just encrypted, "access denied" just like with the older
encrypted folders.
-My user (terry) has always been in the Administrators
group (before system reinstall [when objects were first
encrypted] and now).
-I understand the parent folder is key to whether its new
objects are automatically encrypted or not so I've tried
to decrypt objects within unencrypted folders (which is
another wierd thing: throughout the course of all this,
some objects decrypted, some folders as well as some
files/objects with no discernable permission or EFSINFO
differences from objects that will not decrypt).
Thoughts????
