Hello,

A user account seems to have been totally deleted out of my laptop with all the pictures of my bab
by son - is there anyway I can get them back??

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

did you click delete yourself?

if not, it might somehow became unregisted with the computer, so ..
if you're windows xp - go to computer > C drive > Documents and settings > (account name)
or vista/7 - go to computer > C drive > users > (account name)

if its not there you might consider getting a undelete software (UndeletePlus by TouchStone software or something)

it is win XP and I do find it there under documents and settings.
but upon switching to other user I do not have that user name as an option and it is the same in safe mode.
