During an automatic "To Free Up Disk Space, Outlook Express Can Compact Messages," on my XP, SP3 computer, 2 years of emails vanished (current = 9/15, most recent email = 1/13).
No invisible "bak files" to restore from, and, no files are in my trash can.
Is there a "file recovery software" that I can use that you recommend? And if I do use recovery software, what NAME of file am I looking for -- e.g. when it recovers a hundred thousand files, what am I looking for?
Thank you.
p.s. please no chastising -- I already know I need to use the new Windows, etc., etc., I feel bad enough already, thank you.
