Hello,

I would be grateful if anyone knows about the problem I am facing.
There are a set of files that are not readable. The .doc although could be
opened with word, their text is unreadable. The .mht is the same. The .url
has no url address when I click with the mouse on file properties.

Somtime ago I have encrypted the files with XPs encryption and i exported
the certificate and key for future decryption. I may have backed up the files
with XP backup and then restored them again I can not remember. Maybe I have
messed a little with encryption eg maybe I have encrypted them twice. Again I
am not sure what mistake has happened. But usually when a file is encrypted
and I try to open with no certificate I get error access denied, which I do
not get here.

Anyone has any ideas of what could be the reason?


Many thanks

George
 
Sorry I forgot to mention: Maybe I could set their atrribute back to
encrypted without encrypting them again, and then try the kept certificate?

thanks, George
