Unable to decrypt a folder that was encrypted with Windows encrypt

[Tyler T]

I used Windows encryption to encrypt a folder 2 years ago. Now I am unable
to decrypt (un-encrypt) the folder. It says "Access Denied". I clicked on
Properties-Advanced and unchecked the box "Encrypt contents to secure data".

I use Verisign PKI certs that are renewed annually. I see that the old ones
are still available in IE.

Any ideas of how to un-encrypt the folder and files. I need to move these to
a new HDD.
