ShadowExplorer - Recover Lost Files and Folders How to Recover Lost Files and Folders with ShadowExplorer

|  ShadowExplorer - Recover Lost Files and Folders
 Information ShadowExplorer is a tool to recover any file or folder from system restore points without the need to restore a whole partition. It obviously does not help if a whole partition, including the restore points, disappears. In that case, only imaging can help. It is, however, very handy if you erroneously deleted something and flushed the recycle bin or if you have a file that was somehow corrupted.
For seperate data partitions, I always recommend to enable system recovery too. Note that this works only with disk partitions where you have restore points. Files from USB sticks or SD cards you cannot recover with Shadow Explorer. With those you can try Recuva..
This video tutorial is for Shadow Explorer 0.8.

If Windows 7 was installed, all Vista or previous system restore points are gone. So those will not help you. If you forgot to backup some files, I am afraid they will be lost for good - unless you have an image of the old system (which is probably not the case).
