Offhand I don't know for sure but I really tend to doubt that a restore
point would help but it is always worth a try if it can be done. Did you
reinstall the operating system perhaps or "reset" your logon password with
an administrator account instead of changing it as the user? You also need
at least read/list/execute/write permissions to your EFS files in order to
decrypt them. Your EFS private key that is needed to decrypt files is stored
in your user profile. If your computer is a member of an Active Directory
Domain such as might be found in a business or school check with the
administrator for possible procedures to recover your files.

I am using winXP pro
and I have some encrypted file which I can no longer read
I was able to find some old restore points but they are not registering on
microsoft restore. Going through the website I discovered that I may be
able
to retreive them
but will that help with the encryption.
Help!
