user of the encrypted files has been deleted or renamed
One of my friends has deleted my user account on my computer. I have encrypted EFS files and don't know how to decipher them. I use xp pro service pak2. No I don't kill him for it. I have read on the MMC and found a certificate with my old username on it, but I have no idea what to do with it. I have forgotten the password I used.
You must restore the backup encryption certificate you do when your created your EFS files. The procedure would be the same as the one you used to create the backup copy, except that you 'import' instead of 'Export '.
"Best practices for EFS file system.
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >
If you have forgotten the password for this certificate, your only hope of another would be by doing a restore of the system on this machine to a date before your account has been deleted. Even if this cannot be enough.

If you have problems with the restoration of the system, try to do it from Safe Mode.

The last option, follow these steps:
remove the virtual machine from the inventory and edit the vmx file so that it uses the basedisk. Then add the virtual machine to inventory.

I downloaded windows xp from mirowsoft up to 6 discs of A which I just it ready for the cd of window xp I don't have.
Hi cjoyner66,
Thanks for posting. I'm confused on 6 discs A you're talking about. Windows XP can not hold on 6 floppy disks if that's what you are referring. If the hard disk has been deleted, you will need to use your Windows XP disk and reinstall Windows using this disk and the key associated with this record. If you don't have XP media, you must contact the OEM of your computer or buy an extra copy of the XP.
I hope this helps!

I've highlighted that an empty images folder and you press the button Delete. Each photo file (and the content) in the library has been removed. Basket is empty
* original title - all images disappeared in cyberspace *.
Sorry if I look like I ask the same thing again and again I REALLY don't want to hear it, but just beyond bizarre. There is no reason crap for photos to just upward and vanish.
OK how bout this. Assuming the photo library you meant the images library, like the one on the little box in the file Explorer, users, go to start, computer, drive C,
and right-click on my pictures, and then select Properties. If this was not the 'official' picture library, go to the folder view these photos and go to properties it there instead. Now on the shortcut menu, click previous versions, wait list to fill out, when it does, click one of the folders that was before the photos have disappeared and select restore.
Essentially, this will make the pictures folder how was the date that you have chosen your photos, then all must return.

Hi experts, I cleaned my harddrive using shift delete but also normal deletion and then empty the trash. I do so I can prepare to be sold on if I find a moment (and buyer).
I am told however that this actually does not remove the files but brand only as "too accessible writing." And that it takes a while - depending on how much has been marked to be deleted permanently - for these files too write.
How can I make sure all the files I want to permanently delete are not recoverable with advanced software?
How long would it take to write too say 20 GB of data?
Your feedback is very much appreciated.
Rgds,
WV
Use Google or Bing to search for 'file shredder' or 'secure erase' software which will overwrite files with random patterns of data, making them unrecoverable by most of the efforts. HOWEVER, please keep in mind that no matter what you do, away from physically destroy the hard drive, there are always ways to recover files even if these files have disappeared in a secure way. That's why U.S. Federal agencies requiring a high security have their hard drives shredded into metal fragments when they have access to computers.

Hello
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
Thank you for details on the issue.
"Audiodg.exe" hosts the audio engine for Windows operating system. All the DSP and other audio processing occurs in the audiodg.exe.
For reference:
https://blogs.msdn.Microsoft.com/larryosterman/2007/01/31/what-is-audiodg-exe/I suggest you run the system file checker (SFC) and see if it helps.

https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/929833System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.
If it does not help, perform the system restore and check the number.

I wanted to pass on my old iPhone 5, so I went to remove my account iCloud out of this phone, or so I thought. I went to delete the email, etc. out of this phone, it turns out that he has also deleted all my data on my iPhone 6, which is what I use, as well as on my iPad. What should I do now? Help please
Don't know what you were doing. If you removed real emails, then they are in your email trash folder.
All you have to do is to restore as new iPhone before giving it away.
