Cannot open encrypted after you remove files from the account which them encrypted.

I have some encrypted files a few days back... Then I had to remove this user account and now I do not remember that I have...-encrypted files now my new account (type administrator) I can't access those files. So, how can I open these files? They are very important. I use widows xp service pack 3.

I also tried to start windows Safe Mode, then changing the security options to allow me full control... but it still does not work
I know that the function itself has been developed for the safety of the files, but there must be a means of decryption by another administrator account.

Please tell me a way out as soon as possible.
Thank you!

I'm assuming that you encrypted these files using the available XP Pro Encrypting File System (EFS).  Unless you've backed up your encryption certificates or have a backup of the image-style where you can completely restore your system to exactly how it was, you will have great difficulty to recover these files.  Required for the use of EFS is the short article.  Particularly in the paragraph titled "why you should back up your certificates.

"Best practices for EFS file system.
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

It is possible that the remains of your old user still exist on your disk.  If so, there a program designed specifically for people in your situation that may be able to retrieve the certificate.  No guarantee, however, but it might be worth trying:

  • File extension is missing when you download files from the web

    I just got a new PC with preinstalled Windows7. From day one, I have the problem that when I download files from the internet while you have no extension, so when I try to run them, told me that they do not have an associated program.

  • Cannot open documents after you have uninstalled the Office publisher trial version

    Two days ago, I uninstalled a trial of desktop publisher that has happened, that it is the trial period.
    Now when I open a doc ask me to insert the Office xp professional CD but I have Office Home edition factory installed.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    It was a trial version, so you couldn't use unlimited number.
    Also if you want to use this application you need to buy this software.

    However, you said that you are an owner of office home edition. Then why you n t install this software and use it instead of Office xp professional.

  • CANNOT OPEN TWO OR MORE PDF FILES AT THE SAME TIME

    Since Adobe Acrobat is released, I could double click on any PDF and it will open a new window.  I use six monitors so I could open and compare six different PDF files at the same time.

    Then all of a sudden about two years, all PDFs started tile in the same window.  This made side by side comparisons is impossible.    What's crazy is not a single person I contacted can understand it.  Even the most intelligent guy (even Adobe technicians) cannot understand how the do-but it was something he always did in the past.

    This is such an obvious feature and the answer should be easy.  Someone on another forum suggested this, but there is no button or option checkbox "Display each document in its own window" - which is what I'm actually trying to do.  The person who asked this question is in the graphic industry told me that she never found an answer after more then 3 years asking.

    What the devil?  Nobody really knows the answer?  Wow.  If I had to open a MS Word window and click on the program again, it would keep opening more and more windows side by side, so I can compare, cut and paste.

    Nobody knows the answer to this simple problem?

    I use Adobe Acrobat 7 and 7 Professional.

    Edition > Preferences (ctrl + k), under Show place settings check "display each document in its own window" and for good measure, clear check to "open interdocument links in the same window.

    Hi Julia,

    Acrobat 7 is not supported by Adobe & its not even compatible on Windows 7. It is not possible to predict how the application on an unsupported environment will behave.

    I have windows XP and today under the sent items, I created another folder called sent items 2011. I transferred some of the files of items to be sent envoys 2011 article folder. The other files in the sent items folder disappeared. Please help me to restroe the former sent files.

    Check the messages to the new folder and deleted items. Have a a + in front of them?

  • Cannot open photoshop after you have downloaded the trial version

    Hello

    Since June I download, uninstall regularly photoshop.

    a each time could not be opened because "of a program error."

    I have Mac Os 10.9.4.

    Thank you for your help

    Hi Julietteneui,

    If you get errors of program, there should be a file named PSErrorLog.txt in the folder Preferences in Photoshop. If this isn't the case, you have a problem with permissions on the Preferences folder.

    To ~ / Library/Preferences. Now open the preferences and settings of Photoshop CC.

    If you still can't find the settings of Photoshop - you have a problem with permissions on the library or preferences folder.

    Kind regards

  • I can't find my outlook express address book after you migrate successfully from the old computer. The "Address book" tab shows that local address book empty.

    I move from a Windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. My old computer has Outlook Express. I've migrated successfully my emails and messages archived in Thunderbird on the new computer. I also migrated the Outlook Express address book using an external hard drive, but I was not able to understand how to find the Outlook Express address book in Thunderbird. The only way that I could find the Outlook Express address book, is to go to 'tools' and 'import' and then import the Outlook Express address book.

  • Deleting files from the Digital Image Starter Edition 2006

    I'm having a lot of trouble trying to remove files from the Digital Image, Library 2006 Starter Edition.  It is in such a mess with files for all my music files, Readme files and many other files that have no photos or videos.  I tried everything to remove these including uninstalling and reinstalling without the time, but it keeps always pick up these files and is therefore very difficult to find the image or video file that you need.  I want to delete all the files in the library and implement only the image and video files, which I need.  Can anyone help please?

    Hi volunteer J - I found the POD PD3 file, but when I go to change the type of file to the FORMER, he said that changing a file extension can render the file unusable.  I have copied all the Microsoft file along with the POD file, but wonder whether he should actually do this.  Advice please. -Thank you

    ===============================================================
    It's just a standard message warning... If you renamed the file back to Pictures.pd3 all
    would be as it was before you it renamed to Pictures.OLD.

    Of course rename will make it unusable, but it's what you need to do if you want to delete the library.

    Renaming or deleting the file Pictures.pd3 will force the Digital Image to create a new Pictures.pd3 file.

    If the warning message affects you... try to rename this OLD_Pictures.pd3 way

    I guess that you know, that the Starter Edition is only a 60 day trial version?
