Does anyone knows of any program or how to retrieve lost
pics, in xp/2k? I rebooted my pc with xp cd and installed
it over the previous, but the drive hasn't been
formatted... Is there a chance to recover them? I managed
after a lenghty search, found two - but those were used as
wallpaper... and I did use some more as wallpaper and those
I can't even find either. Where are the rest? Are they
still there?

if the files haven't been over written, then they can be recovered. Any
decent freeware undelete utility should find files that have been deleted.
