• EFS file encryption

  Encryption my question is in relation to EFS file in Windows XP with service pack 2. Some files I had on my hard drive were installed for the encryption of files.

  You can probably... unless you followed the advice in this article and created a "recovery agent" and/or backed up your certificates and private keys on an external device.

  In certain limited circumstances, the required information may be your drive hard (although if you did a "reinstalling Windows XP" is probably he) and you should be able to recover data using Data Recovery Wizard in Easeushttp://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/recover-encrypted-data.htm Note the caveat:

  To recover the files, encryption password must be known or SAM database must be present (Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, Windows 7). User must have administrator privileges.

• I am unable to open and copy the file encrypted after formatting my computer

  I just format my computer before formatting, I take any backup of the drive c. but 1 file is encrypted on my backup now, I'm unable to decrypt this file and is also impossible to copy and open this folder. Please help me with this.

  I assume you have XP Pro and that you encrypted files by using the Encrypting File System (EFS).  When you use EFS, the these files decryption key is stored encrypted with your certificate store.  When you use EFS, you * MUST * back up your certificates or risk permanently losing access to your encrypted files.  Details are provided in this article which is required reading if you use EFS:

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

  Jump down to the paragraph "why you should back up your certificates.
  Line background here, is that you have two options to recover the access to these files.  The first is to restore your certificate from the backup of the certificate that you created by the article above before you reformat your computer.  The second option is to completely restore your previous system from a backup of the image-style you did your system before reformatting and reinstalling.  Otherwise, I fear that you have permanenty lost access to these files.

  EFS is affectionately known as the 'Recycle Bin delay' in this forum.

• After I closed photoshop, the files that I used are on my desk

  Recently worked on a mac, previously windows... when I created a document that I'm putting in Photoshop, all the files that I used are open on my desk. What setting will fix this?

  It seems that you have opened a file in Photoshop in another tab.

  You have floating tabs in Photoshop.

  If you want to disable tab float outside the Photoshop interface, click window > arrange > tile.

  In addition, you must manually close the file in order to stop Photoshop completely.

  I hope this helps.

  Help.

  Hi Dena. Thanks for check up.

  My machine now works. Here's what happened between my last post and the MS update feature works once more.

  I answered my own question about the SubInACL is allowed file to use on my machine. Googling it I found that it is a 'security descriptor and Editing Migration command-line tool' and that it would work on my XP Home edition. So I have done no harm. But he didn't explain why the machine does not respond to a stop command.

  So, with no harm done and an available restore point, I thought that I would see what the SubInACL program since the drive light was working but no message readable in detail until it was over.

  Googling the first line (echo off) in the batch file led me to a MS page that explains the function of command to echo. If I wanted to see out all I had to do was remove the echo off line. So I used Notepad to remove the line and saved the file. Re-run the bat file then produces a flow of lines in the cmd window - moving too fast to read. I got what I asked for but don't want that I really needed.

  Google "screen xp file output. The second Google result was a link to www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation , which explains how to redirect the output of a command file into a text file. So I followed the example and added a ">" and a unique filename at the end of each line. Worked like a charm. Weres big, very big files. All order lines have reported no failure except HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet which had modified 204160 entries and lines 901 has failed. Looking at a small sample of these faulty items, that they seem to belong to my McAfee AV, so I expect them to be special.

  A reboot of the machine successfully. Still didn't update.

  I ran the MicrosoftFixit program with no error reported.

  Rebooted and found the update feature works again. Cross my fingers batch of this next month of MS updates does not return this ghost.

  Hope someone can benefit from my experiences.

• Error message: the files required to use Microsoft Update are longer registered or installed on your computer.

  As I never had problems with Microsoft Updates in the 3 years that I've owned this computer, I am confused now what has happenned.

  My laptop has a valid copy of Windows XP Professional and has always already been updated successfully, both manually by using the web page for the custom updates and so automatically.

  Can someone please shed some light on the question and how to fix it?  I obviously don't want to need to format this computer.

  I still regularly ran my anti-virus (N360 which is always updated) software and windows defender.  I have also always used Spybot S & D.  None of the mentioned software found no major problems, as I expect, because they are supposed to prevent intrusions. I also run the current Microsoft malicious software removal tool as an extra precaution.

  My problem is:

  After you perform a system restore to an earlier date on my laptop, I wanted to check windows update to make sure that all my security updates are in and up to date.  I opened the page to update as normal, then I accept the license agreement and I continued to the next screen.  Normally, I don't have to do this, he usually directly goes to the page.

  Then, I got this error message:

  The files required to use Microsoft Update are longer registered or installed on your computer.
  
  It is possible for me to choose
   "register or reinstall the files now (recommended)".
  However when I try this option I'm headed to the next web page where I get another error message:

  403-Forbidden: access is denied. You don't have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.

• Losing files encryption ranging from NTFS to FAT32 or FAT16?

  I was wondering if encrypted files created on NTFS formatted drives lose encryption if moved to FAT32 or FAT16 formatted drives?

  In most cases, Yes, the file will lose the encryption.  Quoting:

  Problems inadvertently by improper use

  Several problems can cause problems when using EFS. First of all, when it is not being used, sensitive files can be unintentionally exposed. In many cases, this is due to incorrect or weak security policies and a failure to understand the EFS. The problem is made all the worse because users think their data are secure and can therefore do not follow usual precautionary methods. This can occur in several scenarios:

  • If, for example, users copy files encrypted to FAT volumes, the files will be decrypted and therefore is more protected. Because the user has the right to decrypt the files that they encrypted, the file is decrypted and stored in clear text on the FAT volume. Windows 2000 gives no warning when this happens, but Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 offer a caveat.

• Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

  Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7

  All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there.  However, it works for the other user on this system.

  The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:

  • Configuration of the default folder options.
  • reconstruction of the index
  • sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
  • research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
  • Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
  • I checked this registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default
  • Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.

  It still does not work.  The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.

  Frustrated!

• HP Compaq: New question recovery files

  You have been helpful with my previous questions, maybe someone can help me with this.

  I recently convinced me to convert Windows 8 for Windows of 10, in many ways, but has problems.   Another quite serious is that a lot of my files have been created and saved in Microsoft Works and now I find that 10 Windows will not work works.   I still have my Works installation disc, but it grinds soon stopped.

  Is it possible to access or to convert and re - save these files?   I use OpenOffice (instead of the word) but have not been able to make the exchange of "office with" OpenOffice, even if it is a download some simple files in Notepad.

  The link I gave you has some OpenOffice associates and other suggestions on how to convert files to be readable by OpenOffice. Of course it included using methods that are not available to you. Just those of derivation and watch others. He suggested variants on OpenOffice, which have the ability to open and convert files as well as some online resources.
