Encryption & "Decryption"

[Covert2String]

Hello, I would like to know how encrypted files work, and how to decrypt a file, like game files that are encrypted with a unknown alogorithm, I do I "decrypt" it? If possible I would like an explanation rather than the code, because the main point with this topic is to understand how it works.

I have always wondered how encryption works as well. For now, I have no idea how to decrypt something, though.
