Re: lost music :((

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Did you try doing a search (try any file names that you remember, or *.mp3)
on the computer in case the files were only moved to a different folder?

Unfortunately it is possible for 3rd party software to permanently delete
files without using the recycle bin. If that is the case the files are
gone.. same as emptying the recycle bin. If you haven't used the computer
too much yet you might still be able to recover at least some of your files
using file recovery software.

I seem to have lost ALL of my music files. The directory I used still
exists but the files are gone.

I just loaded ZultraxP2P and added my file download music to it. In doing
so I deleted the existing files. I can't find them. I've done a complete
search and checked the Recycle Bin. They are nowhere. The titles still
show in Media Player but I get a dialogue box telling me that they cannot
be found.

If I did delete them and their not in the Recycle Bin where are they??

Any ideas?

Thanks.
