Hi and thanks for your time;
This is a really odd one I have to say,and I sure would
appreiciate if someone could help me get a handle on what
to do if anything.
I have simply lost all of my pictures, about a thousand
at least, the my pictures folder is still there but is
empty, I have also lost all the contents that held copys
of deleted registry files, and a folder that held some
case law has compleatly vanished as well.

I did back up the most of it except for some of the more
recent pictures.

anyway I would sure like to understand how this can
simply happen by itself, and if there is any way that I
can find what I have lost.

It might be usefull to say that I was tinkering around
with trying to install outlook express so that I would be
able to use both outlook and outlook express at the same
time,
each time I tried to open outlook express it crashed,

each time it warned me if I chose to end the task now I
may loose what I have open, I chose to end task as I
didnt have anything open,
I tried this installing over and over about three times
and always the same thing.

just after is when I noticed that all my files were
missing.

really odd to me is all I can say.
Thanks again for any advise Dick
