Fir some unknown reason, nearly all the programs downloaded I within the past mont have mysreriously FANISHED! The Durectories I downloaded them each into are still there and the few that I installed (including vital updates) are still functioning, but the ZIP, RAR and EXE files that wew downloades are all gone!
I can speculate that the download manager I used (Internet Download Manager 5.05 Final) deleted them as I cleared (deleted) the list of "completed downloads from the interface pannel", or perhapes even the disk-cleaning utility I use ( Ace Utilities Version 3.00 * now gone and delelted) dumped them while cleaning "tempory files clean-up!
I have a freeware data recovery freeware but it seems very time consuming and complicated for fires time darecovery users like me.
QUESTION!
I am wondering, since the directories that all the lost files still exist, is there a data recovery program (freeware if possible) that can be made aware of the location of the lost data by showing it where the directory is where the data used to be stored? Then it can replace any data according to that location of that empty directory (folder)???
