Get one of those undelete programs and recover her folder within Documents and Settings (hopefully that part of the drive has not been written to).

I would but she is an hour and a half away as she is home for christmas, going round her student house 2morrow to see if there is another version of the doc on her PC at uni. I best get some good lovin for this when she is back next week:P

i think you need to go round ;)

Yeah the folder has gone, there is no sign of her logon, it's quite hard explaining what she has to do over the phone as she isn't that good with computers (she once tried gettin her computer off screen saver by knocking the screen!!:lol: ) ive had a look for that download steve and it looks as if there is a free version on the site which will allow upto 64KB recovery and as its only a word doc she needs this may be enough:D

She is gonna try this, so fingers crossed:|

Stop calling me mr Myatt:mad:

Go inside C;\ then Documents and Settings then her username, you'll hopefully get a permission error in which can you need to take ownership of the files and reset the permissions, its quite complicated, let me know if you can locate the folder first.

if you have no joy i can provide you with it and the key its only about 600kb big :) but worth a lot of money if you were to buy it legally

try and download a piece of software called R-studio, you will need to get a key for it, run that and it will scan your disk for deleted files as when you delete a file it doesnt actually get removed from the disk unless you do a low level format, it just gets marked as overwritable, its usually successful in recovering most files

Its not me, its the girl has been away at uni and her brother has deleted her profile. She wants some old work on there, looked in documents and settings and there is no trace of the profile:boggle:

whats a system restore?

if you have deleted the user and its profile then only a system restore

[Edited on 02-01-2005 by GSiSteve]

try in documents and settings

cant you log in on the profile then?
can you log in as administrator?

Is there anyway of recovering a user account within Windows XP or recover a file that was stored within the profile:boggle:
