Vista - HELP! photos dissappeared

Photos have dissappeared from my computer, are there any tricks to find them anywhere?!?!

I was renaming the photos, and then wanted to change it back so pressed "ctrl z" and then again, then decided wanted it how it was so thought "ctrl y" was redo, did this and nothing changed, did "ctrl z" again and then somehow all the photos were gone from the folder, pressed "ctrl z" again and again and just the last 2 photos i had previously deleted came back.

searched in recycle bin and theyre not in there

where could they be?!?! there are no other copies i was just getting them ready to put them on cd


any help greatly appreciated

Hi,

Not quite sure what happened , but they are either still there - in which case you can use the Disk analysis module in the free Glary Utilities to locate them.

Glary Utilities

Scan the drive, in the top right click the filetype you are looking for, e.g. jpeg, and they will be displayed in the window below - click each one you think you are looking for to find it's location.




If they have been deleted, the file undelete module in the same program should be able to find and restore any that have not been overwritten.

Scan the drive with the Undelete module, after that , click Filetypes, select the ones you are searching for and it will find the filetypes you specify from among what it has discovered.

Select what you want to recover, click Restore - select where to restore to.

Hope it helps
