EFS and making private key exportable

When trying to backup my private key in Windows Vista Ultimate I can't as it
states "Note: The associated private key is marked as not exportable. Only
the certificate can be exported." Does anyone know how to change this so
that I can export the key???

Jim,

Thanks for the reply. This is not what is happening. I must have set the
certificate to non-exportable when it was installed ages ago but now I would
like to change it. Just wondering if there is a way...

Thanks,
