<font face="Bitstream Vera Sans">My wife is running Win 7 on a Dell
box. Sometime over the last couple of days the contents of her HD
were scrambled. Scores of </font>pictured and documents are
scattered throughout the recycle bin and in dozens of spots
throughout her file system. <font face="Bitstream Vera Sans">It
looks like her file structure was hit with a randomizer. At this
time there is no telling how much was lost. (With that much
damage, I can't believe that it's all there.)<br>
<br>
Finding and putting things back in a reasonable order is going to
to be a major job. She would like to know:<br>
<br>
1) what caused it <br>
<br>
2) once she collects things, what can be done to prevent it from
happening again.<br>
<br>
Answers will require the help of someone who knows a lot more
about Windows than I do.<br>
<br>
Any help, suggestions, or name recommendations, either on or off
list, will be gratefully accepted.<br>
