Using Windows Explorer under XP I see some of my files have green filenames. When I try and copy one of these files I get an error reporting Access denied. The My pictures folder also appears with green text and I have a large number of photos from family holidays I don't want to lose.
I need to backup these files as I'm changing laptop soon.
We use SafeBoot to encrypt our hard drives but I don't think this is the problem as it allows me to copy other files to removable media with no problems.
Has anybody come across this before and how can I resolve this?

Your files are probably encrypted.
