Using the Microsoft Documentation I have determined that the lack of access
to encrypted files is due to the absence of the private key.
I have imported the correct public key, using the utilities in the MMC
console from my backup drive. The correct thumbprint now appears in C:\
Documents and Settings\rgc\\Application Data\Microsoft\System Certificates\My
Although I have copies of the private key thumbprint information from
Documents and Settings\rgc\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA, I am not
able to import the private key from the MMC console. (I get an error " File
type is not recognizable, try another file". |

Did you use a password protected .pfx file to export and import your EFS
certificate/private key??

When you imported the .pfx file, did you select "Enable strong private key
protection?" If you did, import the .pfx file again and do not select that
option.
Thanks.

What is thi sbox is checked but grayed out? What is controlling this
selection? Would there be a GPO checking this and not allowing me to uncheck
it?
Thanks, Kevin

I have similar problem. I imported the .pfx file but I still couldn't access
encrypted folder/file. If I try to encrypt a plain text, a new key is
generated instead of using the imported key. Any idea what's wrong? Thanks.
