Missing Folder

Guest

In Vista - I started moving some files from "Pictures' to 'shared fiels' and
realized I did not want to do this. So, I hit the cancel button. Now the
fiels are not loinger in the pictures folder and they are not in the shared
files folder, or the recycle bin. I can search for them and find them, but
when I try to find hte location or oipen a file it says that it cannot be
opened.

When you find the files with a search, can you right click the file and
select Properties? Does it show the location of the file?

Whe you search for the files, you may simply be seeing the names of the
files that are still stored in the search index.

Ronnie - I was able to get the files back, but they were in a different
folder all together. I appreciate you help.

Do you know if Office 2000 will work with Vista?

Great, glad you were able to recover the files. Where did you find them?

Generally, it appears to work OK, But, there are some issues being reported,
especially with Outlook 2000. I would recommend at least Office 2003.

Ronnie, I have the same problem, when I tried your suggestion it shows the
file as empty!! Is there anyway to recover this information?
