I encrypted some files on my laptop and copied them to an external drive as
backup. Laptop was stolen. When I access the external drive with the
encrypted files with a new laptop, I am not able to open the files as the
Properties>General>Advanced>Encrypt Attributes command is not available. I
can see the check in the box but I is not available to uncheck.
It is vital that I can remove the encryption so I can access the
information.Please help !!
Since XP Home does not have any native encryption ability, you must have
used a third-party encryption program. Contact that program's tech
support for help.
