Vista desktop files disappear

My wife had several documents stored on her Vista desktop. They are suddenly
gone. I've set Explorer to display hidden files and done a thorough search of
her had drive and recycle bin. The missing files are flat gone.

I've searched this forum and done Google searches. I can find somewhat
related problems but none of the solutions apply to this particular case.

So far as I can determine this is a very unusual case. Any suggestions?

Try the new trial version of Undelete 2009

If he listens to you, and installs something on the same drive as his lost
data, he is very likely to lose some of what has been lost. Also, there is
no need to pay for some sückerware, when there are free alternatives.

I recommend he burns the ISO file version on another computer, and then uses
that to recover the files on the dodgy Vista one.
