Re: User account

He did go under user account but doesn't remember if he said yes or no. On
the kodak software you can still see the pictures but they have a crack
through them and they won't let you open them. Im just trying to figure out
what to do before I call someone to try to fix it.

When you remove a user account from Control Panel > User Accounts,
Windows asks whether you want to save the user's My Documents folder. If
you answer 'yes' the My Documents folder is copied to the desktop. If
you answer 'no' then the user's My Documents folder is permanently erased.

If your husband used a different method to remove your account, whether
or not you can recover the My Documents folder depends on what he did.

All in all, another good reason to backup regularly.
