If you are referring to System Restore, that should not delete picture
folders. all the does is repair the system registry files that have been
damaged.
It's possible that you have a virus, worm, Trojan, or malware..disappearing
pictures is a somewhat common symptom of that.
It wouldn't hurt to look in your recycle bin.
To repeat Richard's question, 'what did Bellsouth have you do?
If you ran any /anti/ programs, it's possible that they were removed, but
still in the /anti/ programs backup files.

System Restore "generally" will not delete picture folders. However, I have
witnessed on more than one occasion when using System Restore in fact *DID*
delete folders that should not have been affected.


Op should first use Search for the file types that the photos were in...if
it finds them, he'll be lucky.

Sure, I agree that on a rare occasion it's *possible* that it could happen,
just because I've never heard of it, doesn't make it so. But I would
think that folders on the desktop would be vulnerable, whereas My Pictures
folder would not...at least not from S.R.

But, now that I re-read the OP, it seems the pictures are gone, not the
folder.

And, if in fact, it was S.R., the OP can try to undue the last restore.

The best advise is to store important documents/image file on a partition other than the
one Windows is installed on, and NOT monitored by System Restore. And of course, backed up
and stored in a remote location.

I had all my pictures in a folder, I accidently deleted and sent to recycle
bin, which I emptied not knowing my folder was in there. Is there a way to
get the folder back. I am just sick about this. thanks for any help.

Hi Stacy,

Now you know how important it is to back.

Here a utility that works well at retrieving files that have been deleted from the recycle
bin.

Restoration - file undelete utility:

Hi Bert,
Well it worked to a point. Not all of my folder came back. And some of the
pictures say "file exists, but might be damaged". What does this mean?
thanks for your help.
