I had a (fortunately fairly minor) disaster a couple of weeks ago. I hate long file paths so map them to drive letters; e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Personal can be accessed via P:\ I'm doing some historical research and had about 600 images saved in a folder on the P: "drive". I went to delete one, but had somehow inadvertently pressed ctrl-A before delete, thereby deleting everything. "No big deal" thought I, "I'll just un-delete from the recycle bin". It took a little while for it to dawn on me that stuff deleted from a mapped drive does NOT get put in the recycle bin.

OMG | :OMG: Frown | :( Sigh | :sigh: D'Oh! | :doh:

Fortunately 95% of the pics had already been uploaded to the related website, so I just downloaded and all was well. Some were still under review and I have no backup of some of them, though in many cases notes on where to find them from elsewhere.

100% my fault; all now backed up and secured, and I don't work on a mapped drive anywhere I can delete stuff (e.g. Win Explorer). You live and learn!
