File Encryption

[Richand]

Hi all,

I have a problem with windows file encryption in windows XP Professional at work.

I started here as a contractor and had a username: richardad, On this profile i encrypted a load of important files

I then joined them permanant and had a new profile setup username: richardsar

I copied over all my documents to the new profile and added myself as owner using the richardsar username. Then the company decided that i should go back to my other username richardsad and i then copied the files back over and added my richardsad as the owner.

I can now not open these files and they are still encrypted as they are green.

Any ideas?

Thats just it, They can't. I work for a big global IT Company and they can't figure it out. so i put it to the OCuk forum to give me answers and it does

I encrypted them as the network here is rubbish - putting in \\1**.2**.5*.2**\c$ and you can access a persons file system.

Well, It seems that moving certificates around made abit of differant and unlocked a few files but not all, The tech then wants to copy one of the affected files to a pen drive.... I really need these files as there part of my yearly objectives which determines my pay rise
