Files encypted with different keys

[Alan]

Ummm . . . If I somehow managed to encrypt files (with EFS) but some

with one key and others with another key, is there an easy way to get

them all properly encypted with the same key?

Thanks, Alan

The only way is to decrypt them and re-encrypt them using the key you want.

Try using cipher /U.

This depends on you have access to all keys used to encrypt the files
