Dan,

Those files appear to have been encrypted by the local Administrator
user--you'll most likely need to use the local Administrator account to read
those files. Otherwise, you might be able to move the files from a hard
drive using NTFS (NT File System) to a drive that uses FAT (File Allocated
Table). If I recall correctly, a hard drive using FAT file system does not
support file encryption--it just might remove the encryption when you save
it to a drive without NTFS--just a throught.

Best of luck,

Todd

This is the second time I ask the same question. PLEASE I
need help on this!!!!!!!!
I have a WinXp Pro software installed in an AMD PC
Athlon2400+ with 525 RAM and 3 Hard disks on it (80 G,
40G, 20G...this last partitioned). Fact is that I encrypt
some folders in one of the Disks and then I moved them to
another. Now I can't read them. Each time I whant to I see
only garbish encrypted types on them. I've done all what
MS tells to decrypt but the files and folders seems to be
NOT encrypted (the squares are unchecked). One thing that
entrigues me is that when I go to Properties of the
folders or files (Security tab) I can see this:
Administrator.....
Creator Owner.....
S-1-5-21-1614895754-920026266-500........ ??????????? This
I don't know what is
System......
Users(....)............
I need all those encoded files but don't know what to do.
What I did is encrypt some important folders including My
Documents, Temp in System and to more I usually use for
securoity documents.
I know you can help in in this. Thanks a lot for that.
I usually don't ask for help in this forum or service,
thatfore I ask you if you can send your response to my
account mail. Thanks again.
