deleted file recovery

[nigel1822]

Hi,
wondered if anyone could help. From having to fix my system i had to change the root folder for "My Documents" in windows XP. After some time i decided to restore it to the default place. Whilst doing this i chose to cancel the operation as it was taking forever and i neded to get something done before restoring it to the default setting. Cancelling the operation seems to have deleted a few video files that i need. I have been looking at third party file recovery software and would like some advice on if it is possible to recover the missing files and what software is a good choice to use?

Try #36 "Recover and Restore Deleted Files" from the link below:

Im not sure if it will recover files deleted in the way yours were, but its free so you might as well try.

You might look into the "emergency undelete" feature of Undelete. Meanwhile, don't write anything to the disk (use a different computer).
