File Recovery

[Guest]

If I opened a document form a disc and accidently saved it over a document on
my desktop is there a way to recover the original document that was on the
desktop before I saved over it?

It may be possible using specialist software like GetDataBack (available
over the Internet). BUT you would have to pay (about £39) and it would only
work if the original file has not been overwritten.

Why are you saving files on the desktop. It would much better to save them
in a discrete folder.

None, unless you backed up the original document. Sorry about that.

I had the document on my desktop as a shortcut and I would just open it make
changes save and close it. My secretary saved somehting from her computer on
a disk put it on my computer and now all of my shortcut documents are erased
back to Feb. The only thing I can figure is the info on the disk was from
Feb. and there fore she said over my information on the shortcut. The changes
I had made to the shortcut and saved and closed is the information I am
trying to retrieve. Do you know if there is a way to do this?
