What O/S of Windows do you have on your computer?

Have you tried start- search- all files & folders and type in the search box

either jpeg or jpg & let it search?

It's running XP Home, on an HP. I have tried to use a wild card search and looked for hidden files. I think it might have been deleted. Do you know of a file recovery program that works with XP?

PC Inspector has been given good ratings also maybe run Picasa from Google



PC Inspector File Recovery

Depending on how your files were lost, it may be hard to recover them. This data recovery program recovers lost files and finds partitions automatically, even when the boot sector of your machine has become damaged or erased. Even when a file's header entry is no longer available, PC Inspector File Recovery can recover the file. The program lets you save recovered files on network drives. It recovers files with the original time and date stamp, so maybe it'll be like nothing ever happened. go to download site

Have you tried the Windows XP system restore option? It is located at start, all programs, accessories, system tools, system restore. Pick to restore your pc to a date that you know you had your pictures. Good luck and have a great night, Mark
