I know your pain Dante, I have tried to open up encrypted files before that were made by a local account that got deleted. Once the account was deleted and there was no other account listed as the recovery agent, there was no opening the file. Even if I re-created the account, it wouldn't open the file. I just sucked it up and made new files. Now my rule is this. Use file encryption, but make absolutely sure I define a recovery agent for the file. EFS works pretty good huh? If you absolutely can't live without the original file, you are going to have to call Microsoft. They just may be able to help.
