I recently upgraded a friends windows ME to xp. She is now saying she can t
find some of her files I think some txt files or such. The upgrade shouldn t
have deleted any files I hope.Could it have ust moved them or did it change
them or even delete them?Please respond

file(s),then
in results,click on"search for all files of this type".

Windows 9x/ME probabily had a standard "My Documents" folder. Since XP is a
multi-user system, it should now be in "C:\Document and Settings", under a
specific USER name.

This shows the importance of backing up all important files before doing any
upgrades.

Try using the Search facility available on the start menu. Good luck.
