Default Help with "My Pictures"


Hi All,


I have made an extreme rookie mistake and hope not to live to regret
it. I have installed Vista over XP Pro yesterday and completely (having
backed up everything else...) forgot to back up my pictures folder. Now
as you can imagine there are REALLy important pictures in there
(especially from my recent wedding) that were not previously backed up
(last backup was unfortunatly about 6 months ago).

Do stand any chance of retrieving this folder (my pictures).


Thanks for your time.

If you did an upgrade install, then Vista will have put your XP stuff in a
Windows.old folder. Look for it on your hard drive. Your pictures should be
in there.
