I have experimented loads with this and its definately happening. I
searched google and was surprised no one else has come across this.
I encrypted some folders on my d drive. Exported the certificate.
Rebooted into win2k (use system commander) and as expected could not
access the encrypted files on the d drive.
So I then imported the certificate (under ie6 Tools | internet options
| content | certificates | import) and CAN now open the encypted
files. However they contain total garbage!
As a test I made a new encrypted folder under 2000 (server) added a
simple text file, rebooted into XP and it can decrypt and read it
fine. Created a 2nd encypted text file in XP, went back to 2k and as
expected, it opens it BUT it's full of garbage.
I 'NEED' to dual boot for testing installs. My temporary solution has
been to stop using encryption. Is there a workaround for this or is it
best to just not use microsoft encryption. Seems a bit dangerous to
me. It's a very easily replicated problem, surprised my searches
turned nothing up.
NE1?
