I keep My Documents, My Videos etc on a separate drive to OS (on E:\)

Today I noticed that My Documents folder was duplicated within the My pictures folder ... checked original still in correct place - and then deleted what I thought was dup ... and both folder now gone.

I run RECUVA and saved all deleted files to separate HDD so they are at least safe.
Could not see option in RECUVA to actually recover a folder & its file structure.

However it would take long time to recreate structure & copy back.

I understand W7 has a feature in it to recover a deleted folder ... I looked at info and it seemed to say select folder and the right click ............. can't do that as folder no longer shows.

Is there a neat way to recover folder none of the files will have been overwritten.
I do have System Restore enabled

System restore will not work as restore is only looking after C:/

I tried Pandora recoevery - just crashed every time I tried a scan.
However after Googling found out there is an option to get RECUVA to maintain original folder structure.
Recovered to a separate HDD and all files no back in place
