I recently had to reinstall Windows XP, but now do not have access to
the old "My Documents" folder on another partition.

It was encrypted and 'made private', and the problem I now have is that
I cannot access the files therein. Some of it it quite important
(accounts and so on). I know I was an idiot not to have it backed up,
but we've all done that, haven't we?

Tell me, is there any way of recovering this information?
