    EFS how to decrpyt folder


    I put encryption on and it was processing and then I canceled a few minutes later but now there is a lock icon on my file and I can access it but I want to decrypt it permanently. Now when I try decrypting it the main folder f:\Important says "an error occurred applying attributes to the file the specified file could not be decrypted" but when I press ignore it starts the processing on all other files in the folder. Is it working. Also how do I backup my certificate. I screwed up and am very worried.Update- The processing randomly stops and my folder still has a lock on it :

    :)
