See my review about <a href="http://lindipendente.splinder.com/post/18345612/FaJo+XP+File+Security+Extensio" rel="nofollow">FaJo XP File Security Extension</a>.

Thanks SOOOO much for this! It helped to get back files from a directory I "shared" on the network that never shared properly. After disabling sharing, I had no access to the directory or any of the "non-existent files" inside. (Properties kept saying the directory was 0 bytes when there are many databases inside totalling 500MB+ each! So thanks! This sorted out my problem! Man! Thanks SOOOO much for this!

The files are from another computer I discarded and are encrypted. No way to get access even though I am the one that encrypted them in the first place. Bummer, that doesnt work.
