I accidentally replaced a file with an older version. They were copied in two different locations so when I was moving files, it asked me to delete one file. I deleted the wrong one...any way to salvage it? Thanks! S |

S If you have Vista Business or Ultimate, you may be able to get back the file you want with Previous Versions (look in Vista's Help for "Previous Versions). If you have a Home version, you won't have this available to you and you'll need to replace the file from backup. Otherwise, the original file (the one you want) has been overwritten. Side note: this is exactly why "moving" isn't a good choice when doing file management. Choose "copy" instead and take the extra step of deleting unwanted files from the original location.
