Greetings,
first of all, i want to state here that i tried all what i found it
documented in Win XP "Help and support" but all faild! i mean i wouldn't
post here if i found the the solution there!
The problem:
1. I have a file in drive D: (D: is NTFS format), an ordinary text file
named novel.txt and contains the famous novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emily
Brontie.
2. I encrypted this file by right clickin it-properties-advanced-check
encrypt contents to secure data.
3. i copied the file to a floppy disk and took it to another computer so i
can read it there but i couldn't read it because it is encrypted!
ok i'll forget all what i try and all what i read in Win XP "Help and
support" about this problem and start from the begining so my question goes:

(( What should i do to enjoy reading that great novel in the second
computer??? ))
peice of cake isn't it? yeah it sure is, but please HELP!

On the hard drive the file started on, follow the same path you took to
encrypt it, and remove the tick box from the encryption box, and click OK,
thereby un-encrypting it.

Hello Mr. Moir,
i'm not trying to be rude but God help me why people always don't understand
me?!!!
i want that file to remain encrypted, my question was : how to transfere the
encryption private key (or whatever it is) to the second computer so that i
can access the file over there without decrypting it!!!???
 
Hello Mr. Cooper,
the point was not Brontie's novel (with my respect to her soul), it was
about EFS and the novel was only an example of a file!!! i'm sorry i
shoudn't mention that novel whitch confused you, forgive me please!!!

Well to be fair now, thats a very different question to the one you actually
asked the first time.
 
Log on to the machine where you initially encrypted the file. Use "cipher
/x" at the cmdline to export your keys into a .pfx file. Run the .pfx file
in the second computer - an import Wizard will guide you through this.

Or, for step by step instructions, check out Help and Support. A search for
"export certificate private key" should turn up an entry with detailed
export instructions, for example.
