All is well that ends in pizza.

Hard drive update: I can see files with Easy Recovery Professional on the PC.

Now I need a 200GB+ HDD to rescue them onto, if they can be rescued.

Help. Well, not urgent, but could save me some drama. I copied a photo from the net, but can't remember the filename, because I didn't rename it. Somehow I can't find it. I know (or think) that there's a cache of photos somewhere on the harddrive, and I'm hoping that it will be in there, but I cannot find said cache. I'm wondering if it's because I clear private data whenever I exit (work computer). Thoughts? Suggestions where to look?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Vortex, what browser are you using?

One annoying thing is browsers rename all the graphics files in the cache.

I'm wondering if it's because I clear private data whenever I exit (work computer)

I think this will wipe out your cache when you exit.

One way to start would be to search for a file name of *.jpg. You'll get a lot of results, obviously, but you may recognize a name pretty quickly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Vortex, if you're on a PC it might show up in "recent documents" (under the Start menu).

Could you copy some other random file the same way and see where it saves files by default?

Firefox will show downloaded files by using the "Tools->Downloads" menu command. You can right click on the downloaded item and select "Open Containing Folder" to open the location where the file is saved. I'm not sure if this will be cleared with the private data, I'm guessing probably.

Firefox 2.0.0.16

It's been a while, so it's not there.

I have a crapload of JPGs, and I know that this file has some random name.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What if you searched for *.jpg and then sorted the results by date?
