HELP! Recovering encrypted files after rebuild
O/S: Win 7 Ultimate
I encryped a file share using the Properties "Encrypt this folder. . . " checkbox. I copied the folder and it's files to a USB drive as a backup (not an MSBackup, just a drag-n-drop copy).
I have since had to rebuild my system. I reinstalled the same Win 7 system, on the same computer, using the same user and computer name.
I now cannot do anything with the files or folders on the USB drive - cannot open, copy or delete the files.
Obviously the security token associated with the new user account has changed. Any suggestions?
