Retrieve a Document copied by right-clicking "copy" and the function paste

I created a document three days ago. I tried to copy and paste in another empty document. I have accidentally re-copied something else and stuck the most recent copy, that was not the first document I wanted copied. * I hope this makes sense * what I thought was that Windows maintains these copy documents to the Clipboard. However, I hear that Windows Vista is not such file no longer available. Is it possible to retrieve the first copied document of, perhaps, a list of documents copied from a Clipboard? Because I copied something else before I stuck the first document... I hope that, somehow, it's logical... :) Thank you!

You should not have a history of items on the Clipboard in Vista (even if there are 3 third party programs that can be installed to provide this functionality).  These features won't work if you have saved this document copied a file - not if you only copied the text, but it was never actually saved.  If this is the case, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

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:

http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if it does not also the chances of recovery are slim, but we invite you to try other options if you wish)

http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html

http://www.SnapFiles.com/downloads/Recuva/dlrecuva.html

http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

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!

  • FireFox won't let me not do right click to change the bookmark names

    I recently bought a new computer and downloaded FireFox. When you add my favorite sites to my bookmark, the names are added automatically. They are too long, and I want to change them, but FF is not letting me do a right click to change the name.

    When I right click, it just goes to the bookmark as if I used a left click. Right-click on the computer itself works, but is not trying to change anything in a toolbar.

    Any suggestions?

    Unchecking "use hardware acceleration" was the solution for me. I can not right click on these bookmarks now.

    Thank you!

    For a long time, I always made the following steps to create a new file in Word, Excel, Powerpoint, or Visio:

    How do I return this very useful feature?

    Hello

    You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

    After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

    Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • DataGrid header - then right-click to select the columns to display

    Hello

    Since we can not use the datagrid widget (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/433973), I tried to find a way to imitate the default behavior and display a contextMenu on the click right datagrid header, but without success. I tried to use the contextMenu property, but it seems that the web client disables it. Is it possible to intercept the right-click event and create a contextMenu in the web client?

    Thank you

    Right, Flex standard mouse events are disabled for the reasons that I have explained, you need to use our API.

    All,

    Thanks for your help.  The only thing that worked was uninstall LR and CC 2014 AND preferences Remove.  After you have reinstalled the programs worked well, but I still couldn't edit CC from Lightroom in 2014.  After restarting the MAC, many times the function returned.  I don't know why, but it works now.

    Thanks again.

  • I've upgraded to windows 7. where is my right click Print in the missing model?

    I can access the photo through HP essentials model > print > print at home > photo model.

    Want the option to context menu to reappear.   Any suggestions other than to re - install the HP software, which I did several times since the new computer arrived?

  • Right-click to open the jpg in photoshop disappeard

    Greetings,

    Not sure why the option 'Open with' disappeared while trying to open a jpg or png format in Photoshop cs6.  Scenario - I have photoshop cs6 open a new document, I train.  I go to my bridge and attempt to open a jpg file in photoshop cs6 I want to add to my document.  Previously, I was able to right click and open it directly in photoshop cs6.  However, as I said first of all, the option with a right-click to "open with" for photoshop cs6 is not displayed, but Adobe Illustrator cs6 is still.  Until recently, the open option with photoshop cs6 was always available.  I don't know what I could have done to make the photoshop cs6 option disappear, but it is certainly annoying.  Would appreciate suggestion on to reset this option.

    Thank you
