I hit a default button of windows and he wiped most of my files from my computer. Can I get back them?

Even the search button is now missing from the start menu

I'm sorry.  I can't help with this.  It may be a relatively simple solution, or you may have to do a reinstall of Windows.  I'm inclined to believe the former, but it need a bit of practice looking at your system.  I suggest wear you to a deemed independent computer repair shop (not a type BigBoxStoreUSA or rather GeekSquad).  Don't forget to ask them to back up your data first and ask them to tell you before you do a clean install (forcing you to re - install all the applications you added after you bought the computer from the original media).

Your experience is yet another example of why not to use "Registry cleaners" and similar software scam spied to 'speed up' or 'optimize' your computer.

I don't know what he could have.  If Uniblue System Tweeks has a 'Cancel' or 'restore all changes' characteristics, use it.
I suspected that this might be the case, that's why I included the cultural reference to back to the future.  You are maybe too young to have seen the movies.

    Hello

    Sorry to hear about this. First of all, Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be useful if your bookmarks are lost or missing.

    1. Click the Bookmarks button

      (or

      (> Favorites), select show all bookmarks.

    2. At the top of the library window, click on import and backup , and then select restore.
    3. Click on the date of the backup of bookmarks you want to recover.
    4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
    5. Your bookmarks in the selected date should now be restored.

    For more information, see the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer . For alternatives, see the article of recover lost or missing bookmarks .

    If the above does not work, it could be that a file has been corrupted (namely the places.sqlite file). You can install the extension of Maintenance of places to run maintenance on the file. Please read the following articles first, because they provide useful tips and instructions that may be useful for you:

    My computer have Windows reloaded and now I can't access my e-mail stored previously in Windows Mail. How can I get back them?

    You can try to search for *.eml, but if the disk has been formatted first, they will not be there.  The files are also hidden, so make sure that you enable the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View.  You can also check with those who 'reloaded' of Windows to see if they have backed up your data first.

    See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for information on the message to save the data.

  • The main module controls develop disappeared from the window to develop.  How can I get back them?

    The main module controls develop disappeared from the window to develop.  How can I get back them?  I work with Lightroom 5.3.  The missing controls are the sliders for exposure, clarity, contrast, etc.  I must have inadvertently clicked on something that made them disappear, but nothing I tried back them.  I've never had this experience over the years that I've been using Lightroom (since version 1.1).

    Right-click on any other element curve tone e.g., and tick on 'Basic' if that is what you are missing.

  • . All of my Windows mail folders were empty and all applications on the toolbar are dark, when I turned on the computer. How can I get back them?

    My husband and I share the same email address and use the same computer.  All e-mails and applications on the toolbar 'his side' of the computer are very good, but me disappeared including send/receive.   I got emails that I downloaded, but do not read.  There an idea of how to recover emails and applications?

    It is not at all what you mean by the 'toolbar '.   You use Windows Mail in Vista?  If so, you can search the *.eml try to locate emails (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background), but you will need to provide more information, because it is not clear if you do not see the files or toolbars in WinMail (try to view |) Page layout) or if your all start menu disappeared.  You can also try a system restore, but it seems that you should also check for viruses and malware, according to your description.
