How to decrypt an encrypted file

 

Do you know what is decryption and encryption? if yes then you must know the way how the file has been encrypted. If you do not know that then as a result the decryption algorithms cannot work. In some cases they work only because the standard decryption algorithms are loaded in software, which are tested for the decryption. If today you yourself code to encrypt a file then the file cannot be decrypted by any one else unless he knows the encryption method. Thus specify the encryption algorithm or a standard name of the algorithm at action for the decryption.

Thanks.

Uncheck “Encrypt contents to secure data” and then click OK. Encrypting files or folders is a method of protecting them from unauthorized access by anyone.

EFS or the Encrypting File System is a feature in Microsoft Windows that lets you save information on your hard drive in an encrypted format. Encryption is the strongest protection that Microsoft Windows can offer to help you secure your information. In case you encounter a problem decrypting your file, you can use a program called Advanced EFS Data Recovery to restore access to your encrypted file.
