Hi,

I have winxp sp2 with NTFS on all my drive's volumes. [Microsoft
Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] I used my Administrator accout to make
read only and Encrypt a folder containing sub folders with different
files in them. I made read only and Encrypted Super folder or outer
most folder of that folder tree. But when I after some days reversed
that thing I mean I made root folder of that folder tree [ Read only
- Off] [Encryption - Off] . But it does not work I mean files in sub
folders are not opening, they are just locked.

I want to know how can I reset the settings on my read only and
Encrypted folders to normal so that everyone can access those files.

Plz help me in this regard.

Thanking you in positive anticipation.

Oc9ine.
