| | Have you looked in Windows Explorer rather than on the desktop? Are there some you remember that you cannot find using a good search tool? Is it possible they were in fact deleted by you or someone else? Or do you think they are just misplaced? If they are not in the recycle bin and are in fact deleted, you have to use drastic measures like running a file recovery tool, which usually has mixed results. |

| | You can try with Shadow Explorer: ShadowExplorer - Recover Lost Files and Folders And a short (but very old) version which I wrote like 3 years ago: Recover Files with Shadow Copies on Any Version of Windows Vista - How-To Geek |

| | I've also had reasonably good results with Recuva, if that's the path you need to take. The secret is though, to recover your data asap. The more you use your PC the less likelihood of a good recovery. And Howling Wolves types faster than me!! |

| | Thanks all, this happened whilst i was working on my pc, im sure the files are still here somewhere only not on my desktop or sat in my profile documents folder. example i have a word document that was in my documents but is no longer there but i can find it from the windows search bar and if i open file location it takes me to my documents but the file is not there. It has been moved to somewhere else but i cant find it but can open the document. Dave |

| | Click on the arrow next to Documents, do you see 'My Documents' under Documents, or 'Public Documents'? It could also be in hidden files and folders. |
