Default O.T. Missing Folder/files

You stop as much disk activity as possible because when ANYTHING is written to
the disk there is a chance it will get written over one of your deleted files
and it will be gone forever.


I just had a folder named 'Shopping' and I had files in it of
things like books, DVD's etc that were on my list. I have lots
of folders/files like that. You're saying it's bad? Isn't that what
Favorites/folders/files are for?

Hmmmm, I already downloaded CCleaner on the 8500
but I haven't opened it. I then removed them from the
download history.

When I click your link it doesn't give me any option to
download in another location, then the dialog box pops up
to save it or open. So how do I download it to a USB flash
drive?

Then I run a scan from there correct?

Thanks,
Robert



Robert:

I have used "restoration" in the past with good results.

The sooner you use it the better your chances of getting deleted files back.

BTW have you checked in the "Recycle Bin"?

If you think you have just MOVED it to some obscure place you can use the
"Search" function of Windows explorer. Enter a remembered folder or file name,
point it at the root of the disk drive (C:\) and check the "advanced" setting to
"Search Subfolders".
