My external hard drive started appearing as a shortcut when I clicked to open it from Computer. However instead of the files on the drive, two files, a shortcut and a Thumbs.db file were in it. Clicking the shortcut used to open the contents of my hard drive. However by mistake I have deleted both the shortcut and the Thumbs file.
Now I cannot access my hard drive's contents. How can I resolve the issue. Saving a copy of the data before formatting the drive is imperative as it has some data that I cannot afford to lose.
The shortcut had a path which ran something like this : "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "
Should have mentioned earlier
