After my PC Recovery utility got accidentally triggered and run, all my programs were still there, but the desktop had been wiped out. I thought it would wipe the whole hard drive, but it didn't. Just so happens there was one text file on the desktop I hadn't backed up. I wondered if PC recovery wipes the desktop does it by any slim chance store things such as text or document files anywhere? Or does it just do a dumb wipe of the desktop? I'm guessing I'm SOL, so I've already started rewriting that text file. Thanks for any help!
Yes, I know the importance of backing up. It was a foolish mistake.
