Neelu, The deletions probably exceeded the limited capacity of the recycle bin, which would explain why restoration was incomplete. I would stop using the PC immediately to avoid overwriting what's left. Then I would take the PC (or just the hard drive) to a specialist in file recovery. After that, you may need to reinstall your applications. I say that because you have no way of knowing exactly which of their files were deleted. I can't imagine what you were trying to accomplish by deleting the "everywhere" results. And please, from now on, make backups of all your pictures and documents! Doug M. in NJ |

Please help me out. Neelu I've already suggested what I think you should do to recover your documents and pictures: your best bet is to send the laptop to a firm that specializes in file recovery. Do nothing on the laptop before that! You can find such firms on Google (but use someone else's PC). The alternative is to purchase recovery software and try to recover your files yourself, but unless you know what you are doing, the results are unlikely to be good. You will be better off using a professional who does file recovery every day. After that, if your user folders still have problems, you could create a new user profile for yourself and then copy the remaining documents and pictures (and any recovered ones) to the new profile. Then you could delete the old profile. Good luck, Doug M. in NJ |

Retroman already told you what you should do.
It looks like you lack experience (not a bad thing - we were all there once) to do what is necessary. Send the drive to Drive Savers (or some similar service organization) for file recovery or consider them likely as lost. Next time ask before you do, not after when you have already damaged your system. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "neelu9" wrote in message ... Thank you so much.

If you still have restore points (shadows) from before you deleted the stuff, you can try the way I describe he 'Tutorial: Recover lost files with Shadow Explorer « How-To Geek Forums' (http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic...orer?replies=6) -- whs |
