Help Deleted Desktop Files in Frontpage

E

efrance

I was trying to create a new sample website so I started the wizard and had
the site save to my desktop. Once it opened up in frontpage it had every
single file in my desktop in there so I deleted the desktop files that were
in my web. Big problem as now all of those desktop files are deleted from
not just the program but are completely removed from my computer's desktop.
Any thoughts on how to get them back? System restore did not work.

You need to ask in a newsgroup for your specific operating system.

The only reliable way back is from a recent backup. When you delete anything using FrontPage it is gone forever.
if there is no backup, find an unerase program (Google) - best to use a different computer to avoid overwriting the remnants of the deleted files, and see what can be recovered.

That's what I thought was said - but when FrontPage deletes _anything_, it's gone.
Sounds like instead of a new website ON the desktop, the whole desktop was incorporated in the new website - and the non-web files were deleted.

Exactly. He needs to check with a newsgroup about his O/S. But, my guess is:
it's reformat/reload time.

It may not be that bad, but probably worse - the desktop folder itself normally only has a few shortcuts and data files (undoubtably irreplaceable), but a reformat/reinstall will not replace them.

This program saved my bacon more than once recovering files. Even after a
reformat as well:

http://www.recovermyfiles.com/

(usually nothing is ever totally gone from a hard drive unless the hard
drive itself is physically broken. It may not be possible to retrieve
without the right software..but in all likelihood it is still there.)

Gotta run now... the black helicopters are after me :)

Yes, that is exactly what is happening. Instead of a new website saved on
the desktop it created one incorporating all that was on the desktop. I've
tried since setting up a new website and saving in another separate folder
location on my server and am getting the same problem. It is incorporating
everything from the previos files. For example...if I'm trying to save it to
C:/my documents/websites/new site - all of the documents that are in the my
documents and websites folders are also showing up within my website folder
list. Any idea how I can change this? I have no idea why it's now doing
this as I havent' had this problem before.

I have asked my IT consultant to look into the deleted desktop files to see
if he can restore any of them. Thanks!

that happens when you create a website on your desktop but forget to create
a folder for it there, sooooo when you next open your website your entire
desktop becomes part of the website...not a nice thing...I know I did it
once. Took quite a while to fix it.

Because even when I setup a new folder prior it is still opening up with
everything else in there.

It may not be that bad, but probably worse - the desktop folder itself
normally only has a few shortcuts and data files (undoubtably
irreplaceable), but a reformat/reinstall will not replace them.

reformat/reload time.

That's what I thought was said - but when
FrontPage deletes _anything_, it's gone.
Sounds like instead of a new website ON the
desktop, the whole desktop was incorporated
in the new website - and the non-web files
were deleted. -- Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP

The only reliable way back is from a recent
backup. When you delete anything using
FrontPage it is gone forever. if there is no
backup, find an unerase program (Google) -
best to use a
different computer to avoid overwriting the
remnants of the deleted files, and see what
can be recovered.

efrance formulated the question :
I was trying to create a new sample website
so I started the wizard and had the site
save to my desktop. Once it opened up in
frontpage it had every single file in my
desktop in there so I deleted the desktop
files that were in my web. Big problem as
now all of those desktop files are deleted
from not just the program but are
completely removed from my computer's
desktop. Any thoughts on how to get them
back? System restore did not work.

When it happenned to me:
open Windows Explorer
Browse to the Desktop - In Windows 7 this is at
C:\users\<username>\desktop,
in Windows XP it's at
c:\documents and Settings\<username>\desktop
Search for hidden and system files and folders named _vti* in the desktop folder
Delete them

Whwn you create a new website, do NOT create on the desktop - I create a folder on E:\ named websites\websitename
In the New Site dialogue change the location to E:\websites\websitename

If you do not have a E:, the use C:\websites as the starting point. This keeps everything safe, uhnless you accidently create the website in C:\ (the root folder on C: )
Create the folder first in Windows Explorer, and use the Browse button in the New Site dialogue to find it.

It happens that efrance formulated :
Because even when I setup a new folder prior it
is still opening up with everything else in
there.
Could you tell me how you fixed it please?


Rob Giordano said:
that happens when you create a website on
your desktop but forget to create a folder
for it there, sooooo when you next open your
website your entire desktop becomes part of
the website...not a nice thing...I know I did
it once. Took quite a while to fix it.

Yes, that is exactly what is happening.
Instead of a new website saved on the
desktop it created one incorporating all
that was on the desktop. I've tried since
setting up a new website and saving in
another separate folder location on my
server and am getting the same problem. It
is incorporating everything from the
previos files. For example...if I'm trying
to save it to C:/my documents/websites/new
site - all of the documents that are in the
my documents and websites folders are also
showing up within my website folder list.
Any idea how I can change this? I have no
idea why it's now doing this as I havent'
had this problem before.

I have asked my IT consultant to look into
the deleted desktop files to see
if he can restore any of them. Thanks!

:

This program saved my bacon more than once
recovering files. Even after a reformat as
well:

http://www.recovermyfiles.com/

(usually nothing is ever totally gone from
a hard drive unless the hard drive itself
is physically broken. It may not be
possible to retrieve without the right
software..but in all likelihood it is still
there.)

Gotta run now... the black helicopters are
after me :)
