| 103626 | 2002-12-05 20:21:00 | Hi, rural Kindergarten here! Our administrator computer had an exessive amount of potential users so I removed most of them, leaving only adminitrator and guest. Unfortunately this seems to have deleted half a years worth of emails and express folders which some emails were sorted into! I gather express customises itself to each user, even if the email and internet accounts are the same for all. I've managed to restore the address book (found the address book file for the old user and just copied it into the new one). Does anyone know how I can retrieve the old messages however? Thanks very much - Tarrangower Kindergarten. PS - Tarrangower Primary School and Tarrangower Kindergarten are now going to share this login, this is the 2nd or 3rd time we've need help this year - seem to be getting ourselves in trouble a lot lately! |

| 103627 | 2002-12-05 20:34:00 | I recently had a similar experience with a colleage who runs XP, where a user ID was deleted. All files in the user folders were deleted, and unable to be retrieved, short of sending the disk to a forensic analyst for an extremely expensive recovery. |
