I do not have the original Encryption Certificate Key

Is there any way around it with a c++ program or
somthing, xp cannot be that secure. There must be somway
a programmer can get into this file.
 
You actually have one hope...Technological advances.
Today it is impossible.
Someday, maybe years or longer, technology MAY be able to help you
recover your data...but not today.
EFS would be worthless if it was easily beaten.
EFS is that secure.

EFS is very good at what it does and there is no back door.
This is MUST reading and MUST understanding (all of it) BEFORE using
EFS to prevent permanent loss of data.
