OK, I've been to the kb and the support from within windows. Here's my
problem. I am running WinXP Pro SP2. I encrypted "My Documents" and later
forgot that I did. I was preparing to reformat my drive, so I copied the
encrypted folder to another drive connected to my computer. I reformatted the
original and put a fresh new os on it. I went to restore "my documents" only
not to have permission to do so. I restarted in Safe Mode thinking that I can
just take ownership under the tabs "properties" "security". I check listed
"full control" to my new user id, and was unable to change "special
permissions". In the advanced menu, I tried to almost everything, nothing
worked. I dont have the original "key" and it was "not inherited" from the
"creator or parent(s)". What can I do to decrypt my folder?
