Lost Files at Restart

[Grizel Sandys]

A friend called and told me that recently he has been losing documents
whenever he restarts his laptop which uses Vista. His older documents
remain in place, but he loses recently-added photos, etc., when he
turns off the laptop. He has had the laptop almost a year, and only
recently came upon this problem, which he has temporarily solved by
saving his files on an SD card.

I am wondering if this is a common problem with Vista? I have only
used XP and never came across anything like this. Any input will be
appreciated.

The way you describe the prob of lost photos, is that it is a problem of
WHERE he/she is saving the photos to, not Vista deleting them!

Start>Search for where they are.
