Hi guys,

Im new to the forums, Ive browsed here before & think its great!

I would really appreciate some help with a problem I have... Yesterday
a folder on my desktop completely vanished, it contained some important
photos, and after trying quite a few different ways of locating it Ive
had no luck as of yet...

The folder on my desktop was called 'Mannequin', containing about 30
photos. Yesterday I copied some more photos from my camera, around 180,
copying them into the 'Mannequin' folder, everything copied OK, and I
edited a couple of the photos.

Went back to the computer about 2-3 hours later, to find it was still
turned on, but the screen was black showing 'no signal'. Eventually I
had to force quit the machine and restart it. When it had restarted,
everything was fine & in order, except just ONE folder on my desktop was
missing, the 'Mannequin' one had totally vanished?

So I used start search to try & find it, including non-indexed,
system files etc, which does bring up some past results but nothing from
yesterday apart from 'Recent items' which says it 'refers to a shortcut
which has been deleted'.

Ive tried the recycle bin, tried showing hidden-files, does anyone have
any suggestions? Ive been told 'system restore', but the only problem is
the photos I just copied over are very unlikely to be on that, and they
are now removed from the camera memory card to make way for more.

Please any suggestions would be massively appreciated!

Many thanks
