Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Help w/missing pics!

OK so I was going to upload a group of photos to yahoo, so I accidently created a bunch of shortcuts by pressing shift and ctrl at the same time. When I realized my mistake I began deleting all the shorcut photos. Well I accidently deleted an original and I can't find it anywhere. I searched the recyle bin but all thats in there is the shortcuts. If anybody can make anysense of this and can point me in the right direction to find the lost photo I will give my first born. x1000

What OS are you using? If you still have the camera's memory card that the picture came from (provided it was taken wtih a digital camera), you may be able to retrieve the picture from that. There is a program called RescuePRO that you can use to hopefully recover the picture if you haven't written to the card too much since then. I have used it on a USB flash drive before, and it works pretty well. They also have a product called PHOTORECOVERY that is specifically for digital photography media. I have not used that software myself. They have a free download that will tell you the names of the files it finds on the media, but you can't view or save them without buying the full version. Hope that helps!
