Within the past three months I purchased a new laptop
with Windows XP on it. I encrypted several folders under
my current User Name to protect their contents. Since
then I have attempted to access them time and time again
and cannot. I have also attempted to unencrypt the files
and it is giving me a message Access Denied. I am a full
adiminstrator and have not changed any settings. Any
ideas as to the possible solution would be helpful!
Thanks in advance!
Tom
