the desktop. THE FILES DISAPPEARD FROMTHE DESKTOP! Can these be restored? If
so, how? They are not listed in the Recycle Bin! thanks for any help.

A search folder is just another way of viewing the files on your hard drive.
I'm sorry, I know this doesn't help in hindsight. It should go to the
recycle bin if you didn't shift-delete the files and the files being deleted
weren't larger than the recycle bin. If the files aren't in the recycle bin,
using a hard drive scanning recovery program like undelete is probably your
best bet.
