I have a pc with some encrypted file on it (shown in green) these files were created and encrypted by a user who has since then been removed from windows. I can see the files, but when I click on them nog preview (these are jpg files) is shown and I cannot open or copy them.

From what I've read on http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308993 there seems to be no solution for this problem unless one has exported their certificate or public/private key, wich this user did not.

Anyone here have or know of a solution for this ?

thanks, Jurjen.

Whole point of encryption is not being able to decrypt data without key. If there is no encryption key exported for that user, there is no decrypting.

Microsoft have their own recovery program (reccerts.exe), only available via payed support.
