folders using WinXP Pro., now i can't access my folders
even though I created the same username and password.

Did you backup the key(s)

"Troubleshootin

The most common issue in using EFS is the association of the file and the certificate used to encrypt the file. If the user or DRA does not have the private key associated with the certificate identified in the file's advanced details, the user will not be able to open the file.
