File diretory was encrypted, somehow directory got corrupted now those
files are are inaccessable, tried turning off encrtyption thru the advanced
attributes, but it still would not turn off
Any ideas
 
If the files are corrupted, you may be out of luck. Try running Check Disk to see if
it helps and make sure you are logged on as a user that is able to decrypt those
files and that you have at least read/list/execute/write permissions to the folder.
Efsinfo can help determine what user/recovery agent and what certificate/private key
for that user/recovery agent can potentially decrypt the file with the help of
thumbprint info. --- Steve
