Notepad and Lost File
Recently I was typing and the file "shut" down, the screen went gray and I
lost the entire file. I was editing an already started file on my flash disk thus it was was not on the computer hard drive. When asked to recover it receovered in Notepad, but only a small fraction of the actual content opened up and the rest was question marks, numbers and other jibberish. Is there a way to recover this file?

Is there a way to recover this file? No. That's why whenever you do such editing, you should save it frequently. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Notepad and Lost File
It's also a really good idea, to copy the file off the flash disk, edit it
on the computer, and then copy it back to the flash disk. It only takes a second, and is far more bullet proof. "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote in message ...
