Ask the user who encrypted it to logon and decrypt it.

Did you follow the Encrypted File System best practices...?

If you encrypted it - you should be able to decrypt it...

Unless there is something you are leaving out...
- Is this a new/different computer than the one you originally encrypted the
file on?
- Do you have your backed up certificate? (See link above)
- What operating system are you trying all this on?
(Windows XP - yes - Windows XP what? Home (this will be impossible)?
Professional? Media Center? TabletPC? x64?)

You might be able to take ownership of it and delete it - if you don't want
the stuff...

Read *carefully* - do not just skim the page and start following steps.
There is important information there dependent on the version of Windows XP
