i'm asking for a friend of mine. he put some pictures
onto his computer last night. he went to "my pictures",
and made a sub folder for them. well, now they're gone. we tried doing a search for the pictures and the folder,
but nothing. he still has one of the pictures as his
background, but when he goes to check out the background
info it says he doesn't have a background. does anyone
know how he can get the photos back. he no longer has
them on his camera. thanks in advance.
========================================
Sounds like he may have viewed the images on the memory card but did not actually download them to his hard drive.

There's a slight possibility that he may be able to retrieve them from his TIF folder.

C:\Documents and Settings\>user name<\
Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Also, check the recycle bin in case he accidentally deleted them.

Maybe the following free software can help recover the files from the memory card.
