SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to gain access to a file on a shared network resource, the following error message may be displayed:

Error Copying File or Folder

Cannot Copy NT Mounted Volumes: Cannot Read From the Source File or Disk.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the shared file was encrypted by another user using the Windows 2000 Encrypted File System (EFS), even if you have full access to the share.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, the owner of the file must decrypt the file on the network share.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
