System configuration tips

Windows special folder locations - User profile folder and Application Data folder

There are several folders of interest buried somewhere deep into the filesystem. These folders are part of the so called "user profile", holding most of the data associated with your Windows user identity. In particular, email software uses these folders to keep its message bases in there. There is a quick way to get there
  1. Click Windows Start button
  2. Select Run
  3. Type in "%userprofile%" (without quotes) to get your profile folder, or %appdata%" (without quotes) for an Application Data folder.
  4. Click OK

Displaying hidden files and folders; displaying file extensions for all files

Certain folders which are of interest when we are looking into the email databases are marked as hidden and/or system. The Windows Explorer default settings do not allow you to see such folders. Hence, you need to adjust the configuration so that all files and folders are displayed regardless of their attributes. Also, by default, file extensions for known file types are hidden; you will need the system to display file extensions as well.
  1. Open Windows Explorer
  2. From the menu select "Tools" -- "Folder options"
  3. The configuration window will appear. Under a "View" tab,
    1. Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is enabled.
    2. Clear the "Hide extensions for known file types" check box.
  4. Click "OK" to close configuration window.

I just can't believe it. 2 corrupted Zip disks with thousands of images on them recovered in minutes by downloading this software. I just can't believe my eyes, my pictures are saved! I am ohappyone! Simple to use and it really works. It was not able to recover the original names and properties but one zip disk I have had for 5 years hoping to find a program like this to save it for me.
