If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options cipher /r
may be used to create the cert
Then add this in local policy
If you want the DRA to be able to decrypt without having to
import the cert then log in with the DRA account and add the
DRA cert to its certificates (otherwise then may be done only
when decrypting in needed). In XP when this is imported one
may get the option of being prompted when use happens. Is so,
you must select to not get prompted.
Finally, save the cert file on non-degrading external media,
store safely, and do not forget the password.
