Enter your smart card PIN?!?!?

Hi, well, I did encrypt some folders and after some time decrypted them. Now I have a problem with using Search - when it tries to access the ex-encrypted files, it hangs off and a pop-up window says:

Well, that was out of the blue! I've never even HEARD about smart cards for encryption!

Any known solution for this?

I have to note that other user accounts can access these files properly and the search function is not screwed there.
