Why does my computer tell me I can't open a file that I know I should be able to access?

Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 both include the Encrypted File System (EFS).If you have NTFS permissions to a file that another user has encrypted, you will receive an "access is denied" error.

To determine whether a file is encrypted, perform the following steps to enable the view attributes option in Windows Explorer:

1. Start Windows Explorer.

2. From the View menu, select Details.

3. Select the Attributes option, and click OK.

If a file has an E attribute, that file is encrypted. Only the user who encrypted the file or the recovery agent user can decrypt the file.
