I had a folder called "New Folder" on my desktop with all of my pictures (3000+), and I accidentally deleted it when I was clearing out my desktop. Since it was called "New Folder" I just deleted it without looking at what was inside. When I noticed I'd deleted all of my pictures, I was in a panic. Luckily, I had Recuva, and I got all of my pictures back. Man I am so relieved. (Also learned my lesson about keeping folders named "New Folder"
)
Glad you got your pictures back Icedrake
Have you thought about making a backup of them? Something as simple as Ashampoo Burning Studio and others like it, will allow you to back them up to dvd for safekeeping.
Nope, but now that you've given me the idea, I'll remember to do it!
