OK, right click on the Start button and click on search.  Type in the name of one of your songs and/or one of your pics.  Then where it says "look in" select local disk C.  Then hit the search button.  If they are still there they will come up in the search and it will all so tell you the location of these files.

Go to start, my computer (if you don't have the desktop icon), C drive, program files, windows media center then under that there will be folders with different items in it, if it's not there, then if it's not there, you would go back to C drive and look under the windows folder.  Sometimes they are stored in both places so you might need to look at both.

leo girl had the right idea but if your not very computer knowledgable then u mite not find it. if you have windows XP then its easy just go to start menu, all programs, accesories, system tools, then system restore. once inside you must go to a day highlighted in bold numbers. u can go right back to when you first got the computer. it will keep all your saved documents like music etc but delete anything else. if you dont have XP then you must reformat the hard drive and it should be done by an expert so you can tell him which files you would wish to keep because it can go badly wrong and u may end up paying more for it to be fixed.\n\nJosh

drop down tools menu - see which folder they are stored in  - or search for the shared file - that's where all the songs are - save them

Go to start, all programs, accessories, system tools, system restore. Restore your computer to a time before you lost your favorites and it should bring them back.

Unfortunately not....and if someone tells you to use the restore feature on your computer they are smoking crack!!!! that has absolutely no affect on documents or music files! Sorry!!

From the "trash"folder. If you emptied this folder, then its lost forever.

They are probably in your "My Music" folder in My Documents as .mp3 files.

nope, that data is lost for good, you can remove that image from the external drive, but you can't recover the data that was there before he copied over it

It also depends on the program you use. If it is MSN Messenger, you'll have a Received Files directory; the picture you are looking for is there (provided that you activated the feature in Options).

Why would  you think it would show up in my documents, either right click on start and then click explore and then click on the D:&#92;, or click start>my computer>d:&#92;. my documents is only a folder to keep docs, pictures and videos.

Basically, if you have managed to delete them, then the chances are they are gone.  You can always check to see if they are still on your hard drive.\n\nAssuming you are on Windows XP.\n\nOpen "My Computer", then doubleclick your hard drive (for me it's HDD(C:) ).  Then select "Documents and Settings", then you need to select the folder which is the one with what could be your name!!! - For example, I have 3 folders here, called "Alex", "All Users" and "Owner" ... I would select "Alex".  In that folder there should be a folder called "Favourites".  This is where all your Internet Favourites SHOULD be stored.  \n\nI admit, IF you managed to delete them, then this folder may very well be empty!\n\nContrary to what Sarah C said in the above post, you can make a copy of this folder and save it elsewhere which in a sense would be your back up copy of your favourites.  You DON'T have to do that silly cop-and-paste thing to notepad as she suggests!

Its probably unlikely that you'd be able to retrieve that information but you can try System Restore. From the start menu, go to Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. It will bring your computer back to an earlier state, possibly with the files still there, but I can't guarantee anything. Its worth a try since after all, you can restore your computer back to the current state if it didn't work. No worries.

Images in the camera are gone. In the PC, if you have a GoBack or Restore program, use it to take the computer back to before you deleted.
