Hi Folks
This is my first post on this forum,
After a problem booting up I reloaded XP which should have deleted/formatted
the C:\ drive,
On the off chance I have used a file recovery program, I left it running all night,
on studying the resulting file names/types, I was gobsmacked, not only did
I find files that I knew nothing about I did not even know they were on the
computer
There was no visable record of them either in My Document or My Pictures
Some pictures were from Land Rover sites,others more random
whilst I have never ever saved any individual thing from any site,
I regularly run a registry cleaner and delete cookies, history etc.
Studying the recovered files suggests to me that the computer is storeing
files behind my back and not allowing me access by hiding the file names.
I would never have known this had I not run this file recovery program,
does anyone know what is going on.
