Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help me, please? I have accidentally moved a folder,
containing, loads of fonts, on my desktop, to the recycle bin, but it's not
showing up in there. I have also moved a lot more files to the recycle bin,
and the
y're not showing up, either. Does anyone have any advice, please???
I have tried hitting the restore button, but that hasn't helped either, I
still can't find the file.
I'm using Windows XP Prefessional.

Thank you, to anyone who can help me.
Cheers
Helen

Hi Helen,
I moved a couple of files I subsequently wanted back to the recycle bin and
they didn't show up there either. What I did was to do a Search and that
showed them as being in the recycle bin. Right clicked > Restore and got
them back into My Documents. Don't know if it'll work for you but you might
want to give it a try.
