How to get full access to all contents?
I'm inclined to agree, Roger. Sometimes, however, when what is supposed to

I haven't removed any account.
Isn't the "ME$(ME$@workgroup)" a user account? I used not the cipher, but "Encryption Details for" the file window in "Advanced Attributes" of the file window. I saved a Private key to a .pfx file before I was joined the domain and my computer was renamed by the domain administrators. "Roger Abell" wrote in message ... You may own the machine and the files may be yours, but if it is encrypted and you cannot prove to the system that you are supposed to be able to decrypt it then it will not let you. The only way to prove that you are supposed to be able to access the EFS encrypted file is to use an account that has loaded into it the decryption key that corresponds to the certificate that was used to encrypt the file. When you renamed the machine, apparently starting down the road of denied access, something seems to have removed that capability. When you used cipher to look at the file it said that there was no user account allowed to decrypt it, instead indicating the machine was allowed to decrypt it.

My account isn't a limited account, but administrative.
"Use Simple File Sharing" is disabled when joining a domain. My account has full control over the file. "Michael Solomon (MS-MVP Windows Shell/User)" wrote in message ... This sounds like a file ownership issue related to NTFS. Note, file ownership and permissions supersede administrator rights. How you resolve it depends upon which version of XP you are running. XP-Home Unfortunately, XP Home using NTFS is essentially hard wired for "Simple File Sharing" at system level. However, you can set XP Home permissions in Safe Mode. Reboot, and start hitting F8, a menu should eventually appear and one of the options is Safe Mode. Select it. Note, it will ask for the administrator's password. This is not your administrator account, rather it is the machine's administrator account for which users are asked to create a password during setup. If you created no such password, when requested, leave blank and press enter. Open Explorer, go to Tools and Folder Options, on the view tab, scroll to the bottom of the list, if it shows "Enable Simple File Sharing" deselect it and click apply and ok. If it shows nothing or won't let you make a change, move on to the next step. Navigate to the files, right click, select properties, go to the Security tab, click advanced, go to the Owner tab and select the user that was logged on when you were refused permission to access the files. Click apply and ok. Close the properties box, reopen it, click add and type in the name of the user you just enabled. If you wish to set ownership for everything in the folder, at the bottom of the Owner tab is the following selection: "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects," select it as well. Once complete, you should be able to do what you wish with these files when you log back on as that user. XP-Pro If you have XP Pro, temporarily change the limited account to administrative. First, go to Windows Explorer, go to Tools, select Folder Options, go to the View tab and be sure "Use Simple File Sharing" is not selected. If it is, deselect it and click apply and ok. If you wish everything in a specific folder to be accessible to a user, right click the folder, select properties, go to the Security tab, click Advanced, go to the Owner tab, select the user you wish to have access, at the bottom of the box, you should see a check box for "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects," place a check in the box and click apply and ok. The user should now be able to perform necessary functions on files in the folder even as a limited account. If not, make it an admin account again, right click the folder, select Properties, go to the Security tab and be sure the user is listed in the user list. If not, click add and type the user name in the appropriate box, be sure the user has all the necessary permissions checked in the permission list below the user list, click apply and ok. That should do it and allow whatever access you desire for that folder even in a limited account. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "Dmitriy Kopnichev" wrote in message ...

I'm inclined to agree, Roger. Sometimes, however, when what is supposed to work doesn't, it's worth a shot to try something that might be a cause but isn't directly indicated. I didn't feel there was any harm in exploring the option though I'm not sure if he can even take ownership of encrypted files. That said, something he had said about changing the computer or workgroup name, sorry I don't recall, triggered me to reconsider the possibility of a file ownership issue. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "Roger Abell" wrote in message ...
