Restoring Files

[JB]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I was trying to copy pics from one folder to another, but somehow lost the
contents of one folder by using the "send to my documents"

any idea how I can find and restore the folder and contents? I looked in my
documents and they are not there?

Thanks
JB

You probably sent them to My Documents.

Start | Run | Type: My Documents | Click OK |
Look around.

To search for a file or folder

CTRL + Z immediately after the event sometimes helps (undo)

We all do it from time to time
