Deleted picture folder

While on the Internet I noticed that at the bottom of my "Favorites" column
was a "Picture Folder." I looked at it and then got out of the Internet and
checked to see if my Picture folder was still there. It was, so I deleted
the folder off my Favorites. Needless to say, the folder apparently
completed disappeared!! Needless to say, I am heartsick, and hope that there
is a way they can be retrieved. I am using Vista Home Premium and Service
Pack 1. Any and all help is more than appreciated! Not only were there
pictures from a recent vacation, but numerous other ones as well. Thank you
in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi Katy,

If you have any recent restore points, you could check the contents of
the shadow copies with the free Shadow Explorer.

'ShadowExplorer.com - Downloads'
(http://www.shadowexplorer.com/downloads.html)

'ShadowExplorer.com - Manual'
(http://www.shadowexplorer.com/documentation/manual.html)

With luck , you will find your pictures and be able to export them to a
suitable location.

Hope it helps

THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I did as you suggested and was able to retrieve all
pictures! I will definitely let my friends know about Shadow Explorer--not
only did it find the pictures, but they were in the folders I had created for
them! I have another question, and if this is not the appropriate area,
please let me know. In several of the folders are various extensions; ie.,
..mxc2; mvstcdxx.1st; mxfilerelatedcache.mxc2, etc. My question is: Do any
of those "link" my picture folder to something like Picture Motion Browser
(with my Sony cameras)? If so, can I safely delete those extensions in
whatever folder they are in?

I apologize for adding another query, but if you can help, I would
appreciate it. Again...thanks for getting my pictures back for me!!
