I've been looking at the Manage your file encryption certificates and can not find a way to delete my certificate by simply clicking a delete button I guess user have to do this manually. how exactly do i delete File encryption Certificate?
View 4 RepliesI've been around here a couple of time in the last couple of years with my Vista machine and you all always seem to have the answers for me. So here I go again. Now I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, but I can't seem to find it. I happen to have two files now that I can NOT delete. I keep getting the message; Could not find this item. This is no longer lacated in C:UsersRoyBoyFavorites. Verify the item's location and try again................

Is this a problem with my computer or their laptop? If it is what can I do? I just had my system crash and had it fixed at Future Shop. Everything works fine but the upstairs computer.

For those people in positions where privacy can mean the life or death of a career or even a person, listen up. "Computer scientists have discovered a novel way to bypass the encryption used in programs like Microsoft's BitLocker and Apple's FileVault and then view the contents of supposedly secure files.
In a paper (PDF) published Thursday that could prompt a rethinking of how to protect sensitive data, the researchers describe how they can extract the contents of a computer's memory and discover the secret encryption key used to scramble files. (I tested these claims by giving them a MacBook with FileVault; here's a slideshow.)
"There seems to be no easy remedy for these vulnerabilities," the researchers say. "Simple software changes are likely to be ineffective; hardware changes are possible but will require time and expense; and today's Trusted Computing technologies appear to be of little help because they cannot protect keys that are already in memory. The risk seems highest for laptops, which are often taken out in public in states that are vulnerable to our attacks. These risks imply that disk encryption on laptops may do less good than widely believed.
How can I confirm that BitLocker is indeed turned off? Microsoft provides the instructions below, but this is after it has been on. I see no BitLocker options under Control Panel, Scenario 5: Turning off BitLocker Drive Encryption Scenario 5 describes how to turn off BitLocker Drive Encryption and decrypt the volume. The procedure is the same for all BitLocker Drive Encryption configurations on TPM-equipped computers and computers without a compatible TPM. When you turn off BitLocker, you can choose to either disable BitLocker temporarily, or to decrypt the drive. Disabling BitLocker allows TPM changes and operating system upgrades. Decrypting the drive means that the volume will once again be readable, and that all the keys are discarded. Once a volume is decrypted, you must generate new keys by going through the encryption process again.
Before you start You must be logged on as an administrator. The drive must be encrypted. To turn off BitLocker Drive Encryption Click Start, click Control Panel, click Security, and then clickBitLocker Drive Encryption. From the BitLocker Drive Encryption screen, find the volume on which you want BitLocker Drive Encryption turned off, and click Turn Off BitLocker Drive Encryption. From the What level of decryption do you wantdialog box, click either Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption or Decrypt the volume as needed. By completing this procedure, you have decrypted the operating system volume.
Windows Vista includes a new hard drive encryption feature called BitLocker Drive Encryption. BitLocker can be a very useful security feature for businesses and home users that have sensitive and confidential information stored on their computer. Unfortunately, BitLocker Drive Encryption by default requires a Trusted Platform Module (TPM Chip) version 1.2 or later installed in your computer. A lot of the computers and laptops on the market do not come with TPM chips installed since they are typically only found in premium model business computers.  If you have Windows Vista Business, Ultimate or Enterprise but do not have a TPM chip, you can still use BitLocker Drive Encryption.
Hidden away in local group policy is a setting that will allow you to turn on the ability to use a USB storage device instead of a TPM key to store the encryption key. This is a great feature for users that don't have the latest high-end hardware because you can still use hard drive encryption. However, every time you turn on your computer, the USB storage device that has the encryption key located on it must be plugged in. Without it, your computer will not boot up.  One BitLocker Drive Encryption is setup with a USB storage device, that USB storage device basically becomes the key to your computer.
Follow these steps to turn on the ability to use a USB storage device with BitLocker Drive Encryption on hardware that does not have a TPM device:
Click on the Start Button and key in gpedit.msc and hit Enter....
My PC crashed, forcing a reload. I had stored some files in an encrypted folder on a separate partition. Like a bonehead, I didn't save the keys before the crash. Is there anyway I can get to the file contents?

View 7 Replies View RelatedEvery time I open Microsoft Mail I get the message below. If I answer Yes, the mail service works fine, but just for the rest of that particular session. The same thing happens on my wife's computer and on my Mom's. This is a genuine nuisance! I did a search in this newsgroup and found someone that was using Gmail and had the same problem
I suspect that the message refers to the e-mail server which in my case is sbcglobal, which in turn is a a service of Yahoo. Since Microsoft Mail obviously knows what the offending certificate is I assume that it has been logged onto my computer somewhere. Ques. 1, can anyone tell me how to find it (I am running Vista Business), and Ques. 2, can you tell me how to force Microsoft Mail to "accept" it as a valid certificate?
Offending Message: The server you are connected to is using a secure certificate that could not be verified. The certificate CN name does not match the passed value. Do you want to continue using this server? Yes No
I've the following problem when attempting to export a e-mail client certificate. The associated private key is marked as not exportable? This happens after installing the certificate regardless the authority. I tried:
- Verisign: They don't know
- CaCert" tried to teach me the procedure I know already but does not work.
- Thawte They don't know
- Commodo: they don't know.
I'm not the only person having this problem, as "same problem here" is the only and frequently response in forums of the authorities. Is there, PLEASE, :-) someone who assumes nothing but just knows what is the problem with Vista? (and a possible solution)
I downloaded a demo called Overclocked using ReGet Deluxe. When downloaded it comes as a Zip file which also had a file accompanying it. This is the file that I cannot delete. The extension says it’s a zip file but in properties it just says File as a file type & a size of 0 bytes. It’s located in my storage drive “D” When trying to delete the message I get is: This is no longer located in D:. Verify the item’s location and try again. Cannot move, rename or send to? It just comes up with the same message as above. UAC is disabled. Tried Unlocker but doesn’t work on Vista x64. (worked superb in XP) Used Regseeker and removed any traces that came up with. (Works ok in Vista but not 100% stable?) Tried Regedit and removed all traces of Overclocked in there. here is got to be a way of removing files like this without everyone’s solution of formatting. Surly it’s not as drastic as that?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Vista Ultimate x64, which I reinstalled a few days ago. I also have a large drive(D:), where I keep some of my software, which i don't use regularly or which does not require a performance of my main RAID 0 (C:) setup.
Before reinstallation I didn't remove old software from drive D:. Didn't think I had to, afterall it's not the first reinstall that i'm doing and it would be kind of stupid. Anyways, to the point...
I have a folder "D:Program Files (x86)" with a bunch of software. I was able to delete all of it manually, but a few folders, created by adobe acrobat.
I am logged in as Administrator (actual administrator, not user with admin. perm.)
UAC is disabled
Drive is owned by this acct.
I was able to delete everything manually inside "AdobeAcrobat", but "D:Program Files (x86)AdobeAcrobat 9.0ResourceCMap" just would not delete, getting a "You need permission to perform this action" message.
Folders and Files are set as "Read Only" and when i'm trying to uncheck, i'm getting "You will need to provide Administrator permission to change these attributes" message, after clicking "Continue" i'm getting "An error occured applying attributes to the file" "...filename..." "Access is denied".
I have an Acrobat 8.0 folder from like a year and a half ago, which does the same thing......
All Files have "RA" in the attributes section of the details tab and Owner is "SYSTEM"

View 9 Replies View RelatedA PC had Vista installed and one folder was encrypted by OS. This folder had some thousand or so files. Then Vista was reinstalled, with most old system files (including "Windows", "Users" and "Documents" folders) deleted before reinstallation. Encrypted folder left intact on HDD. Is it possible to get files from encrypted folder somehow decrypted under newly installed copy of Windows? Username and password for Windows account used to encrypt folder are known. Utilities like Elsomsoft's EFS recovery could not do much - when account password have been supplied utility said that it can decrypt about 90 files in total with no hint on why specifically these files can be decrypted and not others.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a very unusual problem with my vista ultimate 64 bit, when ever I execute an exe file, I can't delete it afterwards. I can delete it after restart. There is no security problem, if I do not execute the file then I can delete, move and do what I want. The moment it is run, and certainly close it, I can't delete it any longer. I checked that the process is not running any more. I tried to see if something is locking the file, no handle was found on the file. It happens for different programs, no matter what as long as it is an .exe file. I tried unlocker program that said the file is not locked. It happens even on a usb key with FAT. The moment I run the exe from the key I can't delete it, and I can't remove the key the right way.
When I pull out the key, and return it, I can delete the file, it is free. But I can't do that to my hard drive. Tried scanning for virus, and malware - nothing was found. Tried security related, but since it happen on a usb FAT disk, and there is no security for that, I am starting to give up. At this time formatting the computer in not an option.
I was downloading some of my music off limewire with my new vista HP laptop, and you know, limewire automatically shows up pornography files when i search, i accidently clicked one and iits an image file with a very long name (not really) when i try to delete it , it wont go away, and when i right click, theres not delete or rename option. the images below show everythingg, and im looking everywhere for software that can delete this thing before someone sees... theres no image in it too! look below: No Delete or Rename option.

View 3 Replies View Relatedok, so i think i made a big mistake and i have not clue hot to fix it.
so in the past on my older computers (ones that ran XP) i would make a new folder on my desktop and name it "alt+0160" and it would just have no name then, then i would change the icon to nothing and i would have an invisible icon and i would throw all my program icons into that folder and get rid of recycle bin icon so there was nothing on the desktop. well i just bought a laptop and it has vista on it and i did the same thing but i just deleted all the icons and hid the recycle bin icon in the properties somewhere i dont remember where but im sure you know what im talking about.
