Hi,
What do you mean by decrypt?
You just couldn't access these files?
If so, you could try some recover software used for corrupt data.
Good luck!

Did you backup your profile (C:\Documents or settings) or the Personal Certificate before formatting?
Without the certificate privatkeys its impossible to read the files again...
