Can someone confirm that ASP.NET config files are usually encrypted with the machine key? Is that the only option? (something about /Machine DPAPI). If so, then your only hope is to send the file to the NSA or Dr Who for recovery -- Greg

The machine the file was encrypted on no longer exists. Is there any way to decrypt it? Cheers Bec
