Answer 1

The file has been encrypted with Bitlocker. You may be out of luck if you downloaded it from somewhere.

Answer 2

Did you try opening the folder, or the files in the folder by right clicking and selecting "Run as administrator?"

Can you extract to Windows XP folder, and COPY to a new folder all contents, and then open that new copied folder in Windows 7?

Is it possible these files are being accessed by your antivirus, and it wont allow you to open while this is happening?

Can you open in safe mode?

Answer 3

This easy to fix.

In Windows Explorer, select all the files/folders that have this problem.

Right click and select properties.

In the Properties dialog, select the General tab.

In the Attributes section, click on Advanced.

In the Advanced Attributes dialog, uncheck 'Encrypt contents'.

Click OK in both dialogs.
