I just went to Help and Support Center to see if it says anything. On
ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Help\encrypt.chm::/encrypt_to_recover_agent.htm, it says
"An alternate procedure would involve physically transporting the recovery
agent's private key and certificate, importing the private key and
certificate, decrypting the file or folder, and then deleting the imported
private key and certificate. This procedure exposes the private key more
than
the procedure above but does not require any backup or restore operations
or
file transportation."
In ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Help\encrypt.chm::/encrypt_to_recover_encrypted.htm,
it
says "You can recover an encrypted file or folder yourself if you have
kept a
backup copy of your file encryption certificate and private key in a .pfx
file format on a floppy disk. Use the import command from Certificates in
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to import the .pfx file from the floppy
disk into the Personal store."
I am very sorry that I didn't go to Help and Support Center before sending
a
message to this newsgroup. -Mihir
