How can I Undelete files from my Windows Vista, “user” folders?
Windows Vista features many fundamental changes and the “User folders” are one among them. The XP-style Documents And Settings folder is replaced by the Users folder. The user folders are located in the root of the system drive (It is usually located in the C :\) Each user account in Windows Vista has its own profile folder which consists of 11 folders to store different type of data.
The 11 folders included in the user profile are contacts, desktop, documents, downloads, favorites, links, music, pictures, saved games, searches and videos. However, in Windows Vista, Microsoft includes the ability to move user-specific data like Favorites, Contacts, Music, Pictures and others with simple drag and drop operation. The Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos folders are most likely to contain large amounts of data. Files accidentally/intentionally deleted from any of the user folders mentioned above can be easily recovered with Remo Undelete. Remo Undelete can recover accidentally deleted files, including files emptied from Recycle Bin, from Windows Explorer with the SHIFT key + Delete, and lost partitions provided it is used before the files are permanently overwritten by new data.
