Class One Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I had a power cut earlier, at the same time I was powering down as my pc was running slow, so I was in the process of rebooting. I started it back up as normal, but noticed that some icons were missing from my desktop, and I just been into my music, my documents etc etc and they're all gone!!! Have I lost them all? I'm running Windows XP, any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Roll back to previous system restore point? You could also try rebuilding your icons with TweakUI first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry Pete, I'm a numpty, where will I find my system restore point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Or switch the unit off and get a friend to send you their prefered undeleter. Recover my files is pretty good. If they have gone bye bye the longer you leave it the more chance you have of writting over the sector of hard drive containing them.

Pete Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry Pete, I'm a numpty Oh yes... I forgot. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084 Try TweakUI first though. System restore may lose the last thing you installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
