Yes I do. Google desktop is better, faster and easier than the Windows search, plus it can be used to retrieve deleted files. The interface is similar to the on-line Google search and it's very accessible. I'd definitely recommend it. Sorry, Eleanor - This is no use for your current situation, but you might consider it for the future. For now, you might do a search on line for a file recovery tool. There are lots out there, some free and some to buy, but I haven't used one so I can't recommend any.
