Ok so I had to re-install windows XP pro but before I did this I was an idiot and forgot to decrypt my mp3 collection folder and now I cant play them because they're encrypted :mad:

Does anyone know what I can do about this? I have tried Advanced EFS Data Recovery program but it didnt do any good :mad:

Mabey you could start off by telling us what you used to encrypt these files?

[MaDCaT75]

Uhm I didnt use any program just the regular win xp NTFS encryption system. I just right clicked on the "my music" folder. Selected properties -> advanced and then checked "encrypt contents to secure data" and now I cant uncheck the box it gives me permission denied.

Basicly if you reformated you dont have the original encrycption key.

I didnt reformat.... I just re-installed windows XP pro and deleted the old installation thru the setup.
