hi,
did use efs encrypt folder?if case,sorry,no.
efs protects file encrypting file encryption key, , encrypting key 1 or more public keys corresponding private keys belonging users have access file. possessor of 1 of private keys can decrypt file encryption key , gain access file.
if indeed no longer have of private keys, there no way decrypt files. note during encryption process, windows may have added recovery agent list of users access. if have recovery agent's private key, may still able decrypt files. if don't have them either ,there no way decrypt.
best regards
