Notepad files disappeared

I left my computer on last night and today my Notepad notes disappeared and when I bring up WordPad it doesn't list all the recent documents even if the documents are still there.

is it possible to recover the files from Notepad?

Hi MiltF,

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

  1. There is a scheduled task for sleep/hibernate, or shut down your computer?
  2. Have you started your computer or is IT?
  3. You have saved these files from Notepad or it was unregistered?
  4. If it has been registered, have you checked the location of the file of the saved file?

Get back to us with all the necessary information and we will be happy to help you.

Kind regards

  • Desktop files disappeared

    Hello

    I had folders and files, now all files disappeared, records remain only. Files where 2 photos, 2 .txt files, a shortcut to a Web page and a few other similar stuff.

    I'm not sure what I did to create the problem, I saw the elements disappear I think when I moved an image on the desktop.

    I tried looking for one of the files by using the advanced search (search in files hidden, etc.) and to recycle bin but there is nothing.

    So where can they pass? If you suggest me to do system restore I would like to know what system restore will remove it from my pc, because I download files when this incident's product.

    Thank you

    Method 1: You can try to unmask the hiddden files and check.

  • The files 'disappear' when you add a period to a folder or a file name in windows through GUI

    The files 'disappear' when you add a period to a folder or a file name in windows through GUI

    I don't know if it's a bug, but certainly doesn't seem like it should be the case. I tried on both 64-bit and 32-bit on windows 7. Does not make this error on XP or vista.

    Can someone explain to me what is happening?

    To reproduce, in windows 7 make a file or folder, and THEN add a ".". (period) to the end of the name of the file and look at the file "disappear". It's still there, just need to refresh (F5) and it reappears (w/o of the annex "." because it's an illegal file naming convention).

    I tried to do the same thing but through command line and it always auto corrects names of files to the conventions, and correctly, it remains on the GUI, so I think that the problem is related to the graphical mode of name change

  • Files disappear from WMP

    When I RIP files to WMP two things happen: the ripped files do not appear in WMP or prviously ripped files disappear AND just ripped files are not displayed.

    The first thing to try is perhaps the Player Windows Media "Fixit" tool available for download here.

    http://Support2.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/en-us

    This will be to diagnose problems in WMP and you provide details of the measures recommended... be aware that unless you make specific choices he will reset the default values and restore your library to check what options you want to continue.

    (If it does not work on the first attempt after download, you may need to try to restart your computer).

    If this has no effect, then it may be necessary to try a system restore.

  • Restored files disappeared

    Hey,.

    in a moment of spring cleaning, I accidentally deleted a folder that I would not have had. NP, I remembered creative Cloud archiving function that is then directed to the Web site. Successfully, I found my deleted files and click on the "restore" action After confirmation, the files disappear from the list of archive.

    However, they never came back in my list of files either. They are now completely missing... Is no longer in archive, not in the files.

    No idea where they went, and how can I get back them?

    The file you mention is inside a folder in the Archive. You won't be able to see it until you do a restore. The Archive is 'flat', which means that you can not see the contents of the top-level folders until they are restored in the files section.

    I you sent additional details, including a complete list of the contents of your Archive.

  • First creates zero byte garbage files while saving, project file disappears / corrupts

    Hi guys,.

    I was faced with a strange intermittent technical problem with first saved project (and sometimes the After Effects project files).

    Case:

    -Editor opens a project.

    -After a while as major successes of the editor "Save."

    -A file named strangely appears in the save location without extension (a long string of characters separated by hyphons).

    -Sometimes, this garbage file disappears, and the project is saved. Other times, this file remains and original project file disappears and the Editor doesn't even know!

    -If the editor hits record once again, a message box appears indicating the file has been modified since the last save - hit Cancel or OK.

    This question has meant that we have lost from the project files and had to recover backup automatic and/or creative cloud sync folder.

    Sometimes, it saves ok!


    This is what the strange file looks like.

    I don't know if this problem is related to the software Adobe, Mac os or Linux, but we have only run into it using the Adobe software.

    Sometimes, after effects up an error related to that as well, forcing you to either "save under", or incremental save.

    It's a network editing environment - all customers are macs Mavericks, working from a Ubuntu Linux via SMB server through gigabit ethernet. All clients are authenticated on the server to the same user admin directory and creating masks are 0755 in SMB settings. SMB.conf also has some setting parameters: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF of IPTOS_LOWDELAY = 65536 SO_SNDBUF = 65536

    Op-locks are disabled at the side Server (I thought it might be to do with oplocks).

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Or maybe someone could explain to me the process behind the scenes of what happens when the first runs a backup?

    Glad to hear that it is not me to become crazy, but unglad you meet it!

    Recently, we have replaced SMB with NFS as the Protocol for the sharing of our main RAID and cache, and since then this problem occurs is no longer.

    This points no doubt the way Adobe apps with SMB. I have a feeling that it is something to do with oplocks or something behind the scenes that denies access PP for the project file to crush them.

    TBH, as a bonus NFS will be like a rocket to planet bliss Editor. It's a good beast. Unfortunately I do not know how the Windows implementation is good (I know certainly that only windows 7/8 corporate customers are able to access NFS shares, which is a disappointment for most).
