I accidently deleted my user account on windows xp and
susequently lost all my files (pics, video, music etc..).
Is there anyway to search for and possibly restore these
lost files?
 
Hi Todd -

The accidentally lost files might still be recoverable. First . . . if
possible, avoid doing anything on your computer that would cause
anything to be written to the disk where the files used to reside.

Second, go to http://www.undelete.com/downloads/menu.asp and look for
the Deleted File Analysis Utility download. Get this utility --
preferably download it from another computer and copy it onto a floppy
disk, to avoid writing to the disk where the lost files were.

Third, run the Deleted File Analysis Utility to see which files can be
recovered. If the utility comes up with positive results, you can
recover the files with Undelete from Executive Software (available at
www.undelete.com).

I hope this helps -
