More info?)
I had the document on my desktop as a shortcut and I would just open it make
changes save and close it. My secretary saved somehting from her computer on
a disk put it on my computer and now all of my shortcut documents are erased
back to Feb. The only thing I can figure is the info on the disk was from
Feb. and there fore she said over my information on the shortcut. The changes
I had made to the shortcut and saved and closed is the information I am
trying to retrieve. Do you know if there is a way to do this?
