Encrypted files

I somehow encrypted some files without meaning to, and because of it I can't backup my user folder to Mozy. Is there a way to remove the encryption from all the files or at least find out which one are encrypted?I'm runnin windows 7 ultimate 64bits asked Oct 22, 2009 at 14:54 This may be an older question; but I recently had the same need.My goal was to be comprehensive (search all files) and not require additional software, so it uses the command prompt and any text editor.Here is what I found as a workable solution:open a cmd promptEnter the command: cipher /s:c:\ > encryption.txtOpen the file "encryption.txt"To find encrypted folders, search for "will be encrypted"To find encrypted files, search for "E" at the beginning of a lineWithout parameters, Cipher lists state of the current directory and all files in it. The /s parameter tells it to recurse, and c:\ gives it the starting point. From there, "> ..." just redirects the output.Cipher's output for encrypted files and folders look like this: Listing c:\Dev\Encrypted\ New files added to this directory will be encrypted.E Default.aspxE Default.aspx.csE Default.aspx.designer.csCipher's output for normal files and folders look like this: Listing c:\Dev\Plaintext\ New files added to this directory will not be encrypted.U Default.aspxU Default.aspx.csU Default.aspx.designer.csHope that helps. answered Oct 15, 2010 at 18:14 Robert AltmanRobert Altman7692 gold badges9 silver badges11 bronze badges 5 cipher /u /n /h will find and list all encrypted files on your hard drives (as mivk commented on the other answer) without need for any additional filtering (that could go wrong). Credits for this also go to this tutorial where I found this answer.Note: If there are no encrypted files on the system (any disk), the command returns immediatelly with the response:The system cannot find the file specified.This is not an error. It means there are no encrypted files. It seems in this case this info is cached somehow.Important note: This does not list all encrypted files! Apparently it only lists files belonging to the current user who is running the command.As for unencrypting the files, Snark has already answered that
