Exporting Private Key

[amk.mesbah]

Dear all,

After encrypting all the folders on my hard drive and rebooting, W2K
now hangs at the "Loading your Personal Settings" screen after login.
Does this have anything to do with the encryption?

Since I rebooted immediately after enrypting, I did not backup the
private key. I have since removed the hard drive, put it into an
enclosure and can access it through another machine. Is there any way I
can export the private key this way?

Thanks in advance.

Managed to fix this. W2K will hang at the "Loading your personal
settings" window if autoexec.bat is encrypted. Accessing the hard drive
from another machine and renaming/deleting autoexec.bat fixes the
problem:
