PC Inspector

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

I installed PC Inspector to try to find a file I had put in the recycle bin
and then emptied the recycle bin. the
majority of the stuff found was a bunch of numbers and letters mixed. I was
able to find one picture only. I
typed in the name of the file that was deleted and it didn't have that - it
just gave me a bunch of numbers. I went through the tutorial and scanned
the disks. Didn't give me any names of anything though, just lists of
numbers. Any more ideas? Thanks.

I downloaded this file given and it only showed a few files that I didn't
even recognize. Not the ones I had deleted. In the file that I had deleted
were letters, resumes and photos. I have found nothing like that. Any more
ideas????

I forgot to add that you'll probably see file names similar to this:
Dc25.jpg, Dc26.doc, etc. If Windows is installed on D:, you will see
similar to Dd17.txt, Dd29.bmp, etc. The number represents the number of
file deleted.
