my user profile got deleted along with months of work and need to find a way to restore it if possible. the info didn't get sent to the recycle bin and i was unable to locate it by way of the "find".

Please help
thanks in advance
 
If you know the name that you used you can do it in dos
start, prog, dos to c:\winx
cd ..
dir filename.* /s which will search the directories on the current drive
filename can be parts of names / extensions but limited to 8/3 convention the real name is truncated 6letter~x something

And what you were using fot an input program may help you refine the search.
