is there a way to tell recuva to only recover the green dot files that it knows it can recover without going through and deselecting all the orange and red ones? Thanks
Also, do the files retain their original time stamp?
You could sort the results by right clicking and selecting sort on State, then highlight the greenies, then recover highlighted.
I don't think that the time stamps are maintained as Recuva will create new files in its recovery process.
I have just tested v1.44 and recovered a file that was presented as being last modified 16/02/2013 21:38
Windows Explorer shows the recovered file as having the file properties
Created 16 February 2013, 21:38:40

It is probable that the latest version of Recuva will also force Windows to use the original time stamps on the restored file and not the current date and time.
By Jove you're right, Alan, I wonder how Recuva does that?
