I wasn't sure on the appropriate place for this. A few weeks back I was messing with all my picture files trying to combine them into one or two folders. I was unsuccesful and they ended up all over the place, plus they had dissapeared from my Kodak Easyshare. I thought I may have deleted some so I restored everything in my recycle bin. I did a system restore and that didn't work so I reversed it. Then I tried Google Picasa and it found all my pictures but there were several duplicates. So I deleted everything I didn't want and that made it worse. Now I can't find any of my pics. I emptied the recycle bin again after they were deleted from Picasa. I did a search on the computer for all my pics, it found some but not all. I also can't believe that system restore doesn't help. What can I do to find my pictures?

Well, if you think that you may have deleted the files, there are downloadable utilities that you can 'undelete' a file.

A simple Google search should be able to find some

OK, I'll check that out. Thank you.

Your files may still be on your computer. Try searching for them ({START}, Search; Pictures, Music or Video; Pictures and Photes; Toss an asterick {*} in the file name text field}. This will scoure your entire mory looking for ALL files that are stored as any of the various image type files. I had the same problem you are having, with the same two programs. Eerie.
Thankfully, I was able to recover them.
