I have checked the files in my D: drive. Yes they are encrypted with my old
XP user. They will open only with this user. Which now does not exist. Even
with full administrator rights in Vista I can not add myself as a user to the
certificate list for each file. I need permission from the original XP
administrator. Encryption removal software will not budge it either. So I
figure I am screwed once again by Microsoft. Tried the rollback to XP through
command box and at the end the user account would not move. Access denied was
the message. The computer would not boot into anything after that. But did
show Vista and XP as boot options. Tried repairing the boot up. No go so
wiped the drive clean did reinstall. Have a computer but no files can only
stare at the 18GB of files on D:. Tried access to these files from my wifes
XP box but same problem access denied you do not have permission to view this
file. Sounds like the commercial.
