Recover Lost Word Documents
Posted on Wednesday, June 27, 2007 at 1:17 PM by Jason Barker
Kyle Pott of Lifehacker writes about an article explaining how to recover lost Microsoft Word documents (in Windows). Pott says:
Maker of data-recovery applications Ease Us offers several approaches to resurrecting a lost Word document. The tutorial goes from the obvious -- look in the Recycle Bin -- to more complex searches, like looking for a backup file with the WBK extension, to looking for files that start with a tilde (~), plus a few more. They sprinkle in several recommendations to use their shareware apps, but if you ignore these, there are quite a few good tips you can try next time a Word document goes MIA on your PC.
Recovering deleted files can be lifesaver. My favorite freeware file recovery program for Windows is Brian Kato's Restoration. It isn't perfect - no application is - but it is remarkably effective for a simple and free application.
