Hi,
I just upgraded from x86 to x64 and all went rather well, but the files that were backuped from my desktop ended up unusable... I get a no permissions message everytime I try to use any files...

I've tried to take ownership of the file, but to no avail... please help
 
EDIT:
done some searching, seems that it's encrypted, is there any way to reverse this without the key? brute force or something like that?

EDIT2:
I backuped the AppData folder before the reinstall... I think windows stores the encryption-key in the %appdata%\Microsoft\SystemCertificates... is there any way to get that into the current installation?
 
Yes, I kinda know that I can't "upgrade" it >_<
I installed a news instance of windows, and only kept the Appdata from the x86-version
 
I've tried taking ownership by properties, adding "Take ownership" to right-click menu and applied cacls to some files to test... no go :(
 
I've tried setting all the options to allow on my username in the security-tab, if that's what you were asking?
