I have a folder in W2k Advanced Server which is encrypted. I can not access
any files within this folder either under the admin account or user account
with admin rights. I keep getting an error message that says the file is not
accessible. When I try to remove encryption from the Properties General tab I
also get an error. Can someone please provide me with feedback on how to
remove encryption and access these files.

Thank you.
 
You'll have to log in as the user who encrypted the file. Only that user
will have access to it. That's the reason for EFS.

Thanks.

to decrypt the file must login as the user or as a designated recovery
agent
