Morganlefay-I have spoken with the kids and feel sure there's no problem there. The computer sits facing the open kitchen-the busiest part of the house and I'm usually right there with them. The scope of these files indicates lots of usage...The question now is whether or not they survived the destructive recovery.
A little more info:
I bought the computer 7/05 (set up7/28) and did the destructive recovery on 3/24/06. The spysubtract program came with the computer as a free 60 day trial. When I performed the "DR", it came back as if the computer were brand new, as did Norton and the office program trials. It would be amazing if all this data was generated in the first 60 days and then in the 30 plus days since the DR...wow!
cObr4-thanks for the advice!
