Title: I Need Major Windows Help Fast! Thanks!
Post by: SahDu on May 11, 2005, 09:25:25 PM

Okay, so I was working on a huge project for school and apparently I accidently saved it to a Temp Folder (C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/Local Settings/Temp/) and I guess it got deleted. Is there any way to retieve this file, I dont want to have to start over. Thanks for the help; all and any is appreciated. Thanks!

You can set windows to Show Hidden Files and folders and see if the files are still in the Temp folder, if you didn't clean the temp folder out yet
That would be the first course of action

How to set Window to show Hidden files and folders
 Click Start.
    * Open My Computer.
    * Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    * Select the View Tab.
    * Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
    * Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    * Uncheck the Hide Extensions for known file types
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.

Or, I haven't used this program

Do start>search>files do a search for the file name if you remember it maybe it was saved to a different folder if someone else used your computer last and changed the location where your files are to be saved.  Like internet files default to the last location a file was saved to.

Good luck we've all lost important school reports and work.  I feel for yah dude I'll drink a cold one for yah /blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />

By the way Raysdga
Did you get your 04 entries in your log figured out???
I have a reg fix for AVG to start on startup
That nasty you had/have is fairly new
You should restore your Run keys also, besides just cleaning out the infection
