Exclamation uhoh....file question

Hey,

My friend had me click an option in the folder options for My Movies that encripted the files so that no other user accounts could use them. That worked great untill my windows installation started BSOD'ing. I can still access the files from the other installation, but the filenames appear in green and say acces is denied when I try to watch em. Even Knoppix does it! Is there any way to save these files? Thanks for any and all help!

uh

No, just regular movies, but my little brothers use this particular computer and I don't want them to watch the movies (they're all pg13, but my brothers are pretty young).

Did you reinstall Windows in order to fix the blue screens? If you did, then it may be lost for good. This site has a bit more info.

If you can access the files from another installation simply move them to another directory that is not encrypted.
