Problem

[breezer]

Hi there

kind of a big problem, not on my computer, just someone i know!

she had loads of pictures on her computer, off ages ago and recent ones. Thing is though, now she cant find them. Theyve disappeared. Only she has access to her computer as its passworded. And she hasnt deleted them duh, and cant remember doing it by accident, after all theres alot of gb's of pictures.

Any suggestions to what may have happened?

Also if they have been deleted, is it possible to retrieve them?

Please no dodgy comments :P Its for my mate not me.

Thanks

Ian

There was a post in General about a week ago about retrieving accidentally deleted files. Can't find it atm though. I'll keep looking

windows key and F

search for *.jpg in c:\ and all sub folders.

bet you she has "dragged and dropped" her Pictures folder somewhere

tried that before i asked lol! no luck

has lost all her school piccies! she also mentioned that last week or something she got a virus over msn from her friend. but why would it only cause jpeg files to disappear?

[Boro Sera]

a virus might just have changed the extension, so searching for *.jpg won't find them.

You could always use Windows Explorer and look in every folder. Might take a while, but if they are still there somewhere then you'll find them by doing this.
