User Permissions in windows 7?

[cokesmoke]

Hello,

I've just jumped from x86 to x64, and that in and of itself went rather well, but my desktop holds a lot of files that seems to be unwilling to open since I don't have permission to do so...

Is there any way to release these files so that I can use them again?

Try take ownership, here is a multi-lingual right click shell extension that will allow you to take ownership of any file you prefer. Use at your own risk, try not to delete anything important.

Take_Ownership_Reg

I've tried that one earlier...

The filenames are written in green too... havent seen any files like that before...

EDIT:

done some searching, seems that it's encrypted, is there any way to reverse this without the key? brute force or something like that?

EDIT2:

I backuped the AppData folder before the reinstall... I think windows stores the encryption-key in the %appdata%\Microsoft\SystemCertificates... is there any way to get that into the current installation?
