The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Encrypted files - no access

Asked by ssjoman in Windows Network Security, Encryption for Network Security

Tags: files, from, encrypted

I've played around with file encryption in XP, quite foolish but anyhow...
For some reason I lost access to my own files, which I encrypted while using my domain account. This account is the only one I use.

I have not reinstalled the os, nor have I deleted any certificates.

There is a certificate available, but the fingerprint seems to be different from the one having access to the files, even though it's linked to my domain account.

There's no recovery agent available, and I haven't exported any certificates, so there's no 'backdoor'.

Could someone pls explain how I coult loose access, and if there's any way of getting it back?

Thanks,
Sebastian
