The reason that Windows encrypted the files is that someone told it to do
so. That someone should have kept a record of the encryption key.
Well, of course it was ME to ask Windows to encrypt my files, and it was MY
fault for not caring about how it encrypts files, but since NO warnings are
given my assumption was it was a safe procedure, likely using just the
username and its login password to generate a key.
That said, since this point isn't made clear and people can make mistakes,
would it be that hard (in 7 years) to add 2 (3 maybe?) lines of code in
explorer to make a MessageBox apperar if it's the first time this feature is
used?
Would they really be 15 minutes of wasted time?
Many applications warn you if you're gonna do something that may be
troublesome in the future, why can't Windows that is a program anyone uses
and made by a big company that cares about its customers do the same?
Looks also like this isn't the first time such a thing happened or there
wouldn't be programs written to resolve this problem.
