• If the user accesses the server accidentally deleted the folder how recovery

  If the user accesses the server accidentally deleted the folder how recovery

  Hi AmjadPasha,

  If you are referring to a local file, you can check the trash.

  If you are referring to a network share, then there is very little that can be done.

  You can try using recovery software/services of third parties to retrieve the file.

  You can use your favorite search engine to search for third-party software.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Help! Accidentally deleted music folder

  Can someone help me please?  I've been a total jerk and delete my music folder - had problems to import iTunes music and managed to remove it from the My Documents folder.

  Trouble is, I emptied the trash since then, so I can't retrieve it from there.  Is it possible to restore or replace it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Greetings,

  In Windows 7 If you created restore points, the 'previous Versions' of the files and folders can be available. All what you need to do is right-click on the file, your data was in (or the folder above) and chooseProperties -if your music was in the music library, the path to the folder in c:\users\username\My music. Click the Previous Versions tab find a restore date from before the data have disappeared, and then click Open.

  What you will see are now called snapshots.  You can copy files or folders from this window to the location you want to have restored to. be sure to close the window when you're finished, so you do not confuse shadow copies with your files/folders. If you look carefully at the address bar, you'll notice that it includes the date and time of the restore and folder names point.

  For earlier versions of Windows (and if you have no available restore points), you may need to use using a third party application. There is a free, easy to use, utility called restoration that I recommend. It can be downloaded here: http://download.cnet.com/Restoration/3000-2094_4-10322950.html. It can be used to recover files that seem to have permanently deleted. I used this program many times with excellent results. You'll have best results if you run this program as soon as possible after any accidental deletion.

  Then repeat the same thing, but place a check next to games this time and click OK.

  Oops. I deleted the Contacts of the user (C:\Users\xxxxx\Contacts ) in Win7 x 64 folder and now I can't restore the functionality of the manipulation of the contacts in this folder.

  Without access to the system restore or a certain type of recent backup, you are probably out of luck?

• How to recover accidentally deleted bookmarks folder

  Just look through a Favorites folder "music" and decided to delete the old folder it contains. Unfortunately, I managed to delete the folder music together!
  It is not in the Recycle Bin that I find strange, so is there another way I can restore this precious bookmarks folder. Is it hidden in Firefox somewhwere?
  Just to let you know, I'm not that great with computer talk so would appreciate any help being relatively simple if poss. Cheers.

  If you have not yet closed Firefox, just open the library window and use organize > Cancel.

  If you have closed Firefox, restore a backup of bookmark to before this is deleted.

• Accidentally deleted a folder of important emails can I recover?

  These documents were all in a subfolder in my email.  I had several other subfolders and they are all gone.  Canthey be restored.

  Using Outlook Express? If so first check the Windows Recycle Bin and the Outlook Express a storage folder see if you BAK files for these records. If so, note the date of creation and to see this.
   
  All e-mail messages may be missing when you start Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/918069
   
  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first locate the message store in Windows Explorer.
   
  In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location.
   
  In Windows XP, the dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
   
  In Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file and 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 no bak files, you will need a recovery tool.

  You may need to run in the extract from disk Mode if its normal recovery mode fails to find lost messages.

• Accidentally deleted the folder Microsoft Games (VISTA Home Basic)

  My mother had problems with solitaire and other games included with his eMachines desktop computer in the Microsoft Games folder.  His machine is running Vista Home Basic.  I tried to fix it by copying it in the folder Microsoft Games laptop (Vista Home Premium) wife.  However after that I copied on games, when I tried to launch the game, I got an error message that the games would not be on this version of Windows Vista.  Where can I get copies of these games that will run on Windows Vista Home Basic?  All software has been preloaded on the machine when she bought (not Windows discks, etc.).  These were included with the machine.

  Thank you

  Steve

• I accidentally deleted my desktop folder

  Well, I was trying to make space on my computer so I was deleting stuff when I accidentally deleted my folder on the desktop, is not in her recycle bin but I emptied before it, so now I realized everything in my office as all my icons and other things disappeared and I don't think I can get it back by returning to another point , because I formatted my data disc, this problem is for vista and thnk u for the support

  If you have formatted your disc after you delete the folder, it is not possible to recover the files and folders lost, but we can try.

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

  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 or most or even all 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 generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!
