Yep! I accidentally deleted "My Pictures" file folder in My Documents. I had
some pictures in there that I didn't have anywhere else. I looked in the
Recycle Bin and that folder wasn't there. Is there any possible way I can
get that folder back?

Please help!

This probably won't work; that folder is a special folder and I'm
surprised you could delete it: Download and run Restoration or another
Undelete program. The more you use the hd with the deleted files, the
more data you overwrite, so you should download the program to a flash
drive, or floppy.

First try a System Restore:
How to back up, edit, and restore the registry in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/en-us

If that fails to produce positive results, STOP using the PC if you want any chance
of recovering the folder/files. The more you use the PC the more chance the space
the folder/files were allocated in will be overwritten. There are a few utilities
which run from a floppy disk or a separate drive/partition that you could use to
attempt to recover the folder files.
The trial version of Recover 4 All has a limit on recoverable files of 10KB, yet it
will list all possible recoverable files.

Others may have other suggested utilities. Other than that you would need to take
the PC or HD to a reputable shop that has the proper utilities to recover deleted
folders/files, which can be costly.

I did the exact same thing. I was able to retrieve my photos by using
a program called recover lost data. You can download a trial version
of that software that will scan your memory card & show you what
pictures can be recovered. You can download it
from this page: http://www.migosoftware.com/cgi-bin/...bates/admin.pl
it worked for me I was surprised.

I have no need for your application.
