It's not too late to try
True.
I do know of 1 very sneaky trick though to instantly get the data.
7ZIP stores a copy of the unencrypted file in the Windows temp directory.
Nice try. But 7Zip stores a copy in MY Windows temp directory, not yours. How do you propose getting access to my temp directory?
As an admin, we'd have access. The purpose of encrypting (in the OP's scenario) is to overcome the inherent need to trust the admin. Not a third party. Encryption for transfer to a third party is a very different scenario and yes, it would make sense there. But that's not how the OP is using it.

Although if I come in to work tomorrow and find my laptop has been stolen and there's a note on my desk that says "I win, love from Breffni", you'll have taken the challenge too far.
.... challenge accepted....

Hi,
This may be off-topic, I don't see many people talk of AD RMS, with or without Gigaworks / Secureislands etc..
I'm certainly avoiding it because I have no idea what it is
Gigaworks / Secure Islands I've never heard of
AD RMS = Active Directory Rights Management Services.
"By using Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) and the AD RMS client, you can augment an organization's security strategy by protecting information through persistent usage policies, which remain with the information, no matter where it is moved. You can use AD RMS to help prevent sensitive information—such as financial reports, product specifications, customer data, and confidential e-mail messages—from intentionally or accidentally getting into the wrong hands."
