Re: Please Help with Encrypted Folder
The problem is that you can create a new user account with the same name but
it has a different SID and would not be considered the same to the operating
system and would not work for EFS even if you copy the old profile over to
the new user and use the same password. It is always a good idea to try and
use the administrator account to decrypt the files but rarely is one
configured in XP Pro as unlike Windows 2000 it is not required nor generated
automatically in XP Pro though a computer in an Active Directory domain may
have one if the domain administrators configured one for enforcement via
Group Policy. --- Steve
