A lost folders, files, images, etc.

Something happened yesterday to my pc and I think my son has hit the wrong key and all was lost. Is anyway to get it if I had not saved him?

Hello

If the data has been deleted is a different method for you to try

very hard for you notify information provided

try a restore of the system in safe mode for all that's happened

http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

If necessary do in safe mode

Windows Vista

Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
    everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
    try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
    like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

    If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
    back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
    (CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
    Two other points/questions:

    1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
    approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
    work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

    2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
    photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with

  • but lost folders/files can be seen in the profile

    I lost files from my local server where I email storage. Use pop and it created a new file pop.xxx - 1. on my computer to store mail that I spent. The last having appeared at the beginning of the month, but does not contain links to all the previous records. How to get back the files/folders to add to them?

    Pointer to the file names.

    SDB tells Thunderbird folder contains sub folder. It contains in fact as well.
    MSF files are index in the mail folder. It also stores the Tags, but it's main purpose is as an index.
    Files without extensions are the real mail.

    Before you attempt a restore from a backup that will very likely lose something. Check that your anti-virus does not have the file in quarantine is. Pretty common that they scan with new definitions and find something for 6 months which is not a risk.

    Regarding your mozbackup. To facilitate the work with it, change the ZIP file extension. then you can use it as any other Zip file. (windows will be opened like a folder in Explorer) The file you are looking for will be in exactly the same relative position in the Zip that mozbackup maintains the structure of the profile folder.

  • lost all the images contained in the "my pictures" file on the hard disk while using Windows Live Photo Gallery

    I lost all the images contained in the "my pictures" file on the hard drive.  The files are there but when I open the files they are all empty. It's like some 50 folders and each folder contained about 25 or so images jpg. I lost the using the "windows live photo gallery» I found a thread that someone else has had this problem and only one answer was to check the checkbox 'Show hidden files'. I have done this no luck there. When I open "windows live photo gallery" all records are on the left of the window but empty. I did not send any of these files to the "trash".  Can someone tell me how to recover these?

    You ran the scanner of MS too? It will take some time, but it must be done. If a virus is responsible for it must be nuked before he can ravage any more.

    Send all the pictures? You can still recover these - and get some help course in order to avoid this sort of thing. External hard drives and online storage are worth a small spending to protect valuable files. I also keep the dvd - outdated image files but enough fix if even they can deteriorate over time (but don't we all!)

    Let us know if the scan MS lands anything - run the full scan - it will take time.

    By pressing the "F5" key would probably be to refresh the folder.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE: Windows Explorer can't see the folders/files

    My computer seems to have nuts. I have several times & suddenly (in minutes) began to receive messages "Windows Explorer is not responding", with choices such as "search solution and restart the program", "stop program", "wait." Also, it happened several times for Firefox.

    Right click on a folder on the desktop will block. In fact, who seemed to start the problem. I wanted to do a right-click & Delete a folder on the desktop.

    Can I use desktop shortcuts & open Office files, but I can't see the contents of the C drive, etc. Looks like it is filling when I click on "Computer", which will display all of the subfolders... a green bar moved from left to right at the top for more than an hour, but still no folders/files are displayed.

    It is now after midnight. I'll leave it as; non-stop. If all goes well, he rebuilds "pointers" or other & will be done by morning.

  • I lost my files in my outlook express Inbox. How can I get back them?

    I lost my files in my outlook express Inbox. How can I get back them?

    The email you see in sent items. Is - this mail you thought you deleted a long time ago? If so, it almost sounds like you had an old identity.

    File | Identities | Manage identities. Is there more than one list? If Yes, go to the other identity. If not, read on...

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery tools:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • How can I add my 'snap-in' to my e-mail inbox (i.e. list of local files, spam, etc..)?

    When I opened my e-mail icon a vertical list of local folders & files were attached to the left of it. I understand it to be called a 'snap-In '. I managed to hide it by mistake a few hours ago & can't get it back. How can I do this? Obviously, I'm not very good with my computer, but I don't know what I'm hiding, can be displayed. (System is windows Vista, the software is microsoft. I tried "topics, windows", but they do not address my problem. I also need to know how to change my name to login to Live.com, hotmail, etc.)

  • I lost my files when reinstalled vista.

    I need to know why files got wiped out. Norton worked in my system and all of a sudden updates has been reinstalled windows vista. I lost my files...

    I don't know why or how Vista has been reinstalled (you have a partition recovery with a keyboard command to access it, or did you have the recovery disc or the installation disc in the drive)?  If it occurred in a clean install (which is most likely), then the hard drive was wiped clean of everything (you probably have Norton or any of your other programs more either) and the recovery will be difficult and largely a matter of chance.  If it occurred as a repair/upgrade (which I do not see how it could happen) then the files and programs will still be there (even if perhaps not in the same place even though they should be another reason, I think that it was a facility clean return to the conditions of the factory).   Norton has been known to do strange things to the systems (I do not recommend one of their products - there are better alternatives, some of which are even free - poster back if you want some recommendations - it could happen), but this is the first time I've heard of him causing a re-installation of the operating system (but it is not beyond the realm of possibility - the update could have triggered the order of re-setup in a way (, or maybe you accidentally hit the order during the process).

    There is no way to recover your programs or settings (unless you have a full image backup - that will recover your data as well), but there is a small chance for your data (or at least a part of it).  You have even a normal backup of your data available - which could save you here?

    Here are some free recovery programs that might help (try recuva) but read the following before doing anything else on your PC.  The fact that you did so (including re - install the operating system) goes against what is successful-, but it's worth a try.

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they offer generally no guarantees (meaning you pay full price no matter how much or how little they recover).  In the circumstances, I don't think that even they will be able to recover all or maybe not even most of it.  The decision is yours.

    I'm sorry that what happened to you - it's very bad luck.  Subsequently, please keep a backup of your data to protect you from happening again (or any number of other issues that could lose your data).  Even better would be a full image backup that would preserve your system as it was when it was backed up (including programs, settings, data and all the rest).

    Good luck and I hope this helps!
