I wish I only dreamed it.

What happened was I had the 2 folders in a briefcase but every time I opened up those folders in the briefcase and tried to open a file I kept getting an error that I cant open because "another computer was using that briefcase or document?" or something like that, I do not know what that means so I copied and pasted the folders out of the briefcase onto the desktop and started using but forgot to put them back in the briefcase, a couple days later they were gone from the desktop.

I will try what you and gerbil just replied.

Thanks

You can use "Tiramishu" software for recover this. It work with fat32. and you strart it with ms dos mode. You can recover what you deleted.

This might sound stupid, but i didnt see a mention of an actual general search of you pc. What i mean is start menu-search and just type a file name there. I dont mean to insult you if you have done this, but i dont think it has been mentioned.

Yes I have done a search on my computer for files first and a few more times since, the only thing I have found was on the dates around the time I brought folder to desk top I found my folder under a ".ink" under "Recent Documents" but when I open it goes to missing link.

I still have not found the files under file recoveries anywhere.

I wanted to confirm about this command that you have just quoted,
is there a space between dir and /a/s?

When I type this command in the command prompt ,I get the messege:
"The system cannot find the path specified"

Does this messege means that there is no hidden folder on the desktop?

Have you tried searching your computer, but with hidden folders? Maybe you moved it to a hidden folder or you made them hidden.

When you go to start > Search > type the name of the folder. Then go to the Advanced options, and select search hidden.

If you already did, then that's cool, but if you haven't then it's worth a try.

The /a and /s are parameters, the / identifies them as such, and cmd.exe can distinguish them so you can use a space, or not. dir /a /s, dir/a/s or dir /a/s will all work. Your cmd prompt if you did as i said should be
C:\Documents & Settings\Frank\Desktop
If you then enter dir/a/s and get path not found error that is passingly strange.. cos you are already in the directory; that is the path being used by the dir command. Intresting.
Ah, I know what yyou are doing wrong... I think... use fwd slashes for parameters, not backslashes. If you use backslashes like dir \a\s you are specifying a desktop folder called "" ie"nothing", and if you do not have such a beast you will get a path not found error. If you entered dir a/s you might instead get a file not found error.

hello i have a answer of your question and answers is that go to start menue and select a serch and then select all files and folders on the left side of the screen and then chose the destinatination is desktop and then click serch if he did not show ur file then click further serch on included hidden file after the first serch
