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 found in case changes/deletions made by mistake (or could have not corrupted versions available versions).  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.

Good luck and I hope this helps. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

    without success.  Is it still possible to recover these lost files?  Thank you very much for your help!

    Hi samanthaswigert,


    Method 1:
    run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
    Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

    Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    Method 2: Start the computer in safe mode and then try to access the Folder. To do this, follow the steps below:

    Access Advanced Startup menu options by turning on your computer and pressing the button F8 continuously until Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select Safe Mode

  • How can I recover a lost file bookmark and content and add to my current boolmarks?

    I tried to access a folder with several subfolders with important favorite Web sites. It's not in my favorites and I searched the entire library. I need to recover this file and add it to my folders of bookmarks existing without change or disrupt the rest of the structure of Web sites or bookmarks. I guess I can get bookmarked all the value of an earlier date, but I need just to this folder. I unfortunately did not a recent backup so I don't have the ability to recover from my backup. In that case, might do the same to my backup copy of my favorites?

    If you did a lot of re-organization of your files since your last backup, then you could try the following steps to restore only the missing folder you need (providing that it existed at your last backup).

    1. Save what you have now in a new format JSON backup file;
    2. Restore the previous backup;
    3. Turn off everything except the missing records;
    4. Export to a HTML file.
    5. Restore the backup that you created in step #1; then finally
    6. Import the HTML file created in step #4.

    It is not the most elegant solution, but it will accomplish I hope that what you need, if I understand you correctly.

  • I can't delete a corrupted file which keeps causing execution errors

    During a simple renaming of files, the file became corrupted somehow and the file is on my desk. Whenever I start it, a message error window pop up and States:

    "This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact support team of enforcement for more information".

    The name at the top of the error message window is Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

    Then if I click OK or close this window it says that windows Explorer has stopped working and you have to restart.

    I think that if I can delete the damaged from the computer I will not continue to receive this error message but I tried everything I know and I am unable to remove it. I even ran a program called "FileASSASSIN" but it was impossible to remove.

    I also ran my anti-virus software to remove the damaged files, but was unable to remove it. I can not move the file to another folder or even rename it again.

    I really don't want to have to re - install windows, if there still around him.

    Thank you

    You can use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.
