reinstalled XP w/o decrypting some files stored on another drive

I'm hoping that there has to be some fail safe way to recover
encrypted files in this case.

I use four physical hard disks on my machine, and have several
different backup strategies, BUT, I recently did a clean reinstall of
XP, and missed decrypting some files on one of my hard disks
beforehand. I can view thumbnails
of these files curiously enough, but cannot otherwise open them.

I am wondering where XP keeps the file that decrypts these [on the
fly], so that
I might locate it in one of my previous data backups and then be able
to decrypt these files and thus retrieve them.

Is it possible?

Thanks
 
You'll need to ask this in a newsgroup about Win XP. This one is about
security in Access, the database program.
