Hello,
I reformatted, and my data was encrypted, oh boy, and I can't unencrypt it or read it, because its encrypted under a different user(reformatted) and for some reason (what a great idea) I changed my user name...How can I unencrypt it... like not the hard way, bypassing windows and faking im a user or something....
thanks,

I don't have a clue what you mean but how about creating a second user on your PC with the old name and decrypt it then? Surely that can't work?
Forget that part then, but how would I access/unencrypt the file... Surely someone has encountered this..
anyone?
Umm,
when you encrypt a file, you end up with the first, unencrypted file, and the second, encrypted one.
Shirley if you did this, then why can't you open the original???
:ehh:

You've never done/heard about the windows encryption on NT(XP)? There is a NTFS(i think) file system that allows you to encrypt files... It encrypts the file, whenever you open it, it decrypts it... And, I think its saying access is denied because I am not on the user that encrypted it... I can't go back on that user because i reformatted...

Well,
Why 'dja do that?
Especially if you were going to need that file later on???
:confused:

Hmm... wait...
waiting...
I got it to work.. not the file, but my files that I saved to my external hard drive...
