all my files deleted
|
it �s a bit late to ask as my files - including photos and essays as well as all my elt material - are not even in the trash folder....but.... does anyone know how to protect files on a shared [office] pc? [windows - not apple] i work part time at a centre whose resources include this pc, a printer, boards, old furniture and the smelliest toilet ever. so i really needed those worksheets. i hope most of my photos are stored elsewhere, but not all - that �s for sure. i wouldn �t mind so much if they paid me without my having to ask! |

This may give you some ideas: If you can give the exact OS, then I may be able to get you something more specific. Cheers, AB |

There is software around that can recover deleted files, if they have not already been covered over by another programme. Try this Google search for free recovery software and try and find a good and safe one. Otherwise, get some cloud storage space, like Dropbox, Google and others who will give you a few gigabytes of space for free, and you can get to them at home too. Good luck. |

I use a free recovery software (which is listed in Tony �s link) to restore permanently deleted/lost files and it works pretty well. (It actually reveals that permanently deleting something is not as permanent as one thinks, which is a scary thought when disposing of old PCs)
I love cloud storage. I use Dropbox and OneDrive.

Oops! Sorry - read that as being Apple, not Windows. My bad! � Using cloud based storage is an excellent idea. If you don �t have access to the internet on your work machine, (& you may not be allowed to run 3rd party software either without having administrator privileges on the computer or network) you�could use some native�Windows security options. These options, however,�would not stop a system administrator from deleting your files! � If you can advise what�version of Windows the system uses, I �ll get some specific information for you. It�is always a good idea to�keep back ups of your files�in the future. � Cheers, AB�
