I have some problem on viewing pictures in my Private Folder. Private Folder
i mentioned is the softeware Microsoft provided before and don't support now.

My process is
1. copy files directly from Private Folder on PC A into a normal folder in
another NTFS patition
2. copy the files into Private Folder on PC B with the same account name and
the password

But I can't view my pictures in Private Folder on PC B and PC A has been
reinstalled.

How can I view my picture? Pls help!

Use whatever process MS provided for removing the encryption on your Private
Folder. Test by making sure you can access these files. Uninstall Private
Folder with whatever method MS provided for this now-unsupported program.
Find another method of encryption such as True Crypt.

BTW, next time don't include the dollar signs in your subject. I nearly
marked your post as spam because of that.

Hi Malke

The problem is after the action I have mentioned, the picture can't be
viewed in Private Folder on PC B, and neither can they be viewed if I copy
them from Private Folder to another normal folder.

I want to recover my pictures...

Review whatever documentation came with Private Folder. Presumably it
provided some method of backing up your encryption key. Presumably you did
so. If you encrypted these files and didn't back up your encryption key,
then your files are forever inaccessible and you might as well delete them
and restore from backup. No unencrypted backup available? A sad lesson
learned which has two parts:

1. If you are going to use encryption, really understand how it works and
how you will restore the encrypted files - including backing up the
encryption keys.

2. Make regular backups of your data.

I'm sorry for your loss.
