Problems decrypting file

[Paul Jefferson]

Help any advice...I accidently encrypted a file using
Windows Xp Pro. According to articles read so far I
should have had to input a pass word, however that option
was never presented. Further I don't have password
protected log on on my comp, further I'm the
administrator. So I am at a complete loss any advice
would be greatly appreciated.

When you want to decrypt the file, you should just need
to right click it and choose decrypt. That is the way it
works on my computer anyway, and I don't have to enter
any password either.

Paul - Running as the same user that encrypted the file, right click on
it->Properties->Advanced, uncheck "Encrypt contents. . ." checkbox.

Roger - Sounds like you added Encrypt/Decrypt to the context menu.
