-----Original Message----- "Peter Clark" wrote in message ... http://www.beginningtoseethelight.org/efsrecovery/ My, my. You have been busy with writing. Can we assume you are now comfortable with having the link provided to people by third parties now that it is much more detailed and "followable" by less than a technical expert ? -- Roger -----Original Message----- I had to re-install Windows XP and other programs on my Compaq Presario 2700 (2715US) recently. I did a backup of my Profile in the Documents and Settings folder of my Windows XP Professional Machine using the backup utility that comes with Windows XP. When I reinstalled and restored my profile and settings I am unable to decrypt my outlook.pst file. I have the full profile structure intact. I tried to add another user to the "Encryption Details for..." "Users who can transparently access this file:" listing but got another error message. Is the anyway for me to decrypt this file? . . |

When you speak of old user profile? What is the old user
profile and where is it located? Is it stored under the documents and settings folder? -----Original Message----- Bruce Chambers wrote: If the your encryption certificates and keys were not backed up before the reinstallation, and the workstation isn't part of a domain, those files are gone, for all practical purposes.

the one that you backed up before reinstall in docs&sets.
when you say you reinstalled, can you describe the process in more detail - was it an oem cd or a retail restore cd? - is your password the same as before that could access the file? - do you have the same usernumber as before? did you restore the profile oer the top of the new one? are you sure that you are loading/using your old profile when you logon? -----Original Message----- When you speak of old user profile?
