Yes, unfortunately I did. I had two sets of photo's that were very similar and the other day when I was on a cleaning binge I deleted the wrong ones. I think I'll try and find a program as Charles suggested and see if it will work. They still show as thumbnails in my photo program but I can't do anything with them since the files are gone. I continue to live and learn <grin> Elaine Russ said: Did you delete them from the trash can too? If not then restore them to the original folder. -----Original Message----- From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Elaine Gairy Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 9:12 PM To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [CTS] System Restore I accidentally deleted some photo's that I need for a court case. Is it possible to do a system restore and get the photo's back. If so, then can I do a system restore back to today's date to get everything back the way it is? Elaine
