Hi there,
I am using Windows 7. I had reinstall my Windows 7 and since then most of my file became encrypted (shows green in explorer).
I ran into a strange behaviour where I am not able to use or decrypt the files. I dint knew about the encrytion.
I am the administrator on my machine which is running Windows 7. I get the following error
--------
An error occured applying attributes to the file.
<FileName>
Access is denied.
--------
I do not have any encryption key nor do I have created any.
I have tried the following ::
When I right-click the folder > properties > go to advance > Uncheck encrytion > apply changes > continue (user account control) > I get this ...
"An error occurred applying attributes to the file:
C:\Program Files\Windows Collaboration
Access is denied.
Ignore. Ignore All. Try Again. Cancel."
This is a really annoying little problem that I need to have go away, so any help would be appreciated!
Points to note:
SAFE MODE doesn't help.
I am logged as administrator, which makes it all the more frustrating.
I don't know of any other folders that act up like this.
Please let me know what is going on!
Thxx,
NYK
