    Lost a folder
    « on: August 09, 2008, 08:10:34 PM »
    I have a folder full of pictures missing. I don't think it has been deleted. Is there any way i can locate this folder? keep in mind I know very little about computers just enough to be very dangerous.

      Can you remember the folder name?

      Have you tried the Windows Search utility? (CTRL + F)

        Sorry, ALT + F
        Both those keys together.

        Then choose All Files and Folders and make sure the following are ticked:

        Also, make sure you select all drives.
