Kathy had been a stay-at-home mom till her kids were all grown-up and independent. She decided to take up a teaching career, which meant that she had to get the necessary teaching certification. Kathy went back to school to get the necessary certification and though the use of computers and multimedia initially overwhelmed her, she slowly learnt to make use of those tools. One day as she was preparing her research paper, Kathy hurriedly saved the Word document she was working on and closed it, hoping to work on it later. When she came back to the computer later, she was shocked to find that she simply could not find her document!

 

Deeply frustrated that all her hours of long, hard work had gone waste, Kathy was about to start redoing her paper when her teenage son suggested that she try a few things before giving up, including an undelete process. He suggested that she go through the following steps:

1. First, he suggested that she try the 'File Search' option that is available in all computers. More often than not, computer users forget where they have saved a file or save it in strange places by mistake. The search option allows you to search through just documents, entire folders or the entire NTFS disk, depending on where you think you might have saved it.  Once the search is complete, the search results will show you where you have saved the file currently. You can now open this file and save it in the location that you want to.
2. He also suggested that she try looking at the Recycle Bin to see if she had accidentally deleted the file while closing the folder she was working on. The Recycle Bin offers an easy undelete function ' open the Recycle Bin folder and view the contents; if you find the file you are looking for, merely select it and using the right mouse-button, restore it to it's original location.
3. Finally, he also showed her how if none of the steps mentioned above worked, she could always trust recovery tools such as Advanced NTFS Undelete to recover deleted files that have been hidden by the computer. He showed her how easy it was to use the wizard interface of the program to go through the entire file recovery process in a systematic, efficient manner. In fact, Advanced NTFS Undelete not only helps in the undelete process but ensures that the process is thorough by even restoring duplicate files but renaming them automatically to avoid confusion.

 

Kathy could not only get her file back but she felt more confident that the next time a crisis arose she could always count on Advanced NTFS Undelete to recover all her files, even if nothing else works.
