View Full Version : Restoring lost files or folders

Hello
Can anyone tell me how to find out if I accidentally
deleted some program files & or folders, & then if so, how
to replace them without losing any of my after market
software installations? I had to delete & then re-install
my Turbo Tax and while deleting files & folders, I may
have deleted other file types that I shouldn't have. The
reason I think I did this is because my "Ctrl/Alt/Delete"
doesn't work nor nor will my screen saver.
Thanks so much!

Check the Recycle Bin.
If the files are there, right click the file and select Restore.
To replace missing system files:
Start/Run, type "cmd", type "sfc /scannow"
Follow the prompts, you will need the Windows XP CD.
