I have encrypted couple of important folders, later when
experimenting with network changed my computer name a
couple of times. Now I cannot open files in these folders.

WinXP was not re-installed, so may be I have some
"permission files" somewhere on my computer, but cannot
find it?

Thanx for any answer,
Dainius

tried to log in with administrator account? That should be
the default account that is able to de-crypt everything

I thought i didn't confuse them.
Isn't Administrator the default account for decrypting?

Paul;
Not unless it is specifically designated as a Recovery Agent.
It is not done by default in Windows XP.
