| | Files disappeared from My documets Several days ago some folders from My Documents folder just disappeared. The folders and files in it are really important for me and I was trying to recover is somehow but I found no clue for that. When I search for files it shows that they are on their original location but I cannot access them, they can just be on the Search index I suppose and it makes no séance. But I installed Undelete program to check if somehow it is deleted itself and from there I sow lost folders with only those files in the folders which I have deleted before and it is showing that the folder itself is not deleted. I can’t imagine what else can be a cause and can someone help me with this case Thanks, Jashi |

| | Re: Files disappeared from My documets Hi Jashi, Not really sure what you are looking at, but you have no "My Documents" folder per say in Vista. It's there, but it's only for backward compatibility. What you do have is a "Documents" folder and that's where everything is stored in Vista. -- All the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ "Jashi" <Jashi@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1B817788-C15B-4E68-92B1-14B4B3E734D6@xxxxxx Quote: > Several days ago some folders from My Documents folder just disappeared. > The > folders and files in it are really important for me and I was trying to > recover is somehow but I found no clue for that.

| | Re: Files disappeared from My documets When you open the Documents folder in Windows Explorer, do you see a button on the toolbar named Compatibility Files"? If so, click on it. This will take you to the virtualstore location. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Jashi" <Jashi@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0F1452E0-FE59-4052-B2C9-8AB70A2A60E2@xxxxxx Quote: > That’s the same I just call it My Documents cause I'm more used to XP.

| | Re: Files disappeared from My documets Hi Jashi, You really should call it what it is now. It can confuse people whom is trying to help you sending them off on a wild goose chase :>) If you right click on "Documents" then properties do you see a Previous Version tab? If so, you my have backup Shadow copies of these folders/files you can recover. -- All the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ "Jashi" <Jashi@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0F1452E0-FE59-4052-B2C9-8AB70A2A60E2@xxxxxx Quote: > That’s the same I just call it My Documents cause I'm more used to XP.
