foolishly deleted My Documents from desktop--how to get it back?`

I take it you also emptied your recycle bin following deletion?

 

[Walterius]

It did not go into the recycle bin. That was the first place I looked. It
went into the bit bucket, if You know what that is.

Please put your question in the body of the message so we all can read it.

Is your "My Documents" folder actually gone, or is it just the desktop
icon that's gone? If it's just the icon, go to Control Panel > Folder
Options > View, and check "Show My Documents on the desktop".

if it's not just the icon, shut down your pc immediately. Get yourself
Ontrack EasyRecovery ($$), GetDataBack ($$) or PC Inspector File Recovery
(free) and let it run. You might not be able to rescue all of your data
since deleted data is in essence nothing more than just free space.

If you're desperately needing those data and you don't have a fully
featured backup with it handy, give your hdd to Ontrack and let them
recover those data. Be warned: this is pretty expensive.

Gary,

It was the shortcut (apologies for the lack of clarity) and your tip worked
perfectly. Thank you.
