EFS - Sharing Files

Ok.. I've been working on this for awhile now and haven't found that magical
bit of information I need... whatever it is.

Environment: Windows 2003 Server, XP on the Desktop, users log into a domain.
- Note... I inheirited (sp?) this, so I don't know all the backstory

We have a Public Shared folder that everyone has access to.

Inside that folder is another folder that is encrypted.

Currently, only the person that creates the file can open it.

We need to grant some others access to these files.

What do I need to do, to make this happen?

So far I've:
- Created a Certificate for myself on my PC
- Exported it and then imported it onto the server
- After much effort I was finally able to add my certificate (username) to
the "ACL" via properties, Advanced, Details.

However, I cannot open it.

So, I can't seem to figure out why... did I import the cert wrong? Create
the Cert wrong? Am I off base entirely?

Can someone help. :)

Thanks.
