Hey Nihil,

I couldnt copy a file to test this out from my HDD to the desktop. Dont know why , maybe because the OS is on a different HDD. If I try and follow your instructions where the file is setting I get a no read permission error.

I havent tried this in safe mode yet but I will later.

I didnt make a backup of my EFS certificate and I have XP Pro on now not vista. If it doesnt work in safe mode then I dont know because all my music is now flagged as encrypted :/
