My computer is running Windows XP Pro, with only 1 account
(administrator). Recently while loading, a message
appeared saying that my profile was corrupt and that I
would have to log on using a temporary folder, in which
any changes that I made would be lost.
I logged on, and moved 2 files, each containing several
Word documents, from my Documents and Settings>Default
folder to my desktop. I restarted my computer, and
obviously, as changes would be lost, the 2 folders were no
longer on my desktop. However, they were not in my
Documents and Settings>Default folder either.
I decided to do a System Restore, and I successfully
restored the computer's state to that of two weeks ago,
before any corrupt profile warnings had come about. My 2
folders were back in their original location; however,
they are now empty.
I have tried undoing and re-doing System Restores and have
met the same results: the folders are present but empty.
How can I locate the Word files that were once in them?
Thanks.
