| I would say B, would be much easier and safer than exporting your key to a floppy and importing it to another machine. but then again, doesn't sending (emailing) a file require atleast the read permission? | |

| Or you can reset the password on John's account, login using his account, and decrypt the file that way. | |

| Would EFS recreate the lost private key then? | |

| I believe B is the correct answer
from my understanding, you can't recreate a lost private/public key

| Good point. I missed that when I typed the response. I'm not sure how that works when a user loses his/her private key. |
