cokesmoke Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 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?

MrJinje Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cokesmoke Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) 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?
