Creating a New Personal Encryption Certificate

Creating a New Personal Encryption Certificate
If you lose your personal encryption certificate, you can create a new one using Cipher.exe, the command-line encryption utility. At a command prompt, simply type cipher /k to create a new personal encryption certificate for the user running Cipher. (By using the RunAs command to launch Cipher, you can create certificates for other users.) Of course, you can't use the new certificate to decrypt files that were encrypted using the public key from your old certificate.
