Hi everyone,
I have Vista Home Edition and recently saw most of my desktop folders and
files disappear. I searched the recycle bin, checked hidden files, did a
system restore to the previous day, and installed PC Tool's "File Recover"
program and nothing helped.
Before using the program, when I searched for a particular file, the error
message said something like "cannot find source of file or it has been moved
to another location."
Ran program and it found over 16,000 deleted files. Was able to restore
some of the lost files; however, most remain too corrupted to open. Could
this be a registry problem?
Is there anything else I could do? Is there a simpler solution to find my
missing desktop folders and files?
Thanks,
Rick
PS.
when ever I reboot the computer files and folders quickly appear, and then
disappear. I went to "Search" and searched for one of my folders that used
to be on the desktop and it shows to be located there but I can't see it.
I'd greatly appreciate if someone can help me restore these folders as the
majority we lost were my mom's.
TIA
