Hey. I have run the scan, but is it possible to recover the following items? If so, what do I search in the bar to find them? I am running Vista Home Premium 32bit.
  • Internet feeds (Firefox)
  • Internet favourites (Firefox)
  • Desktop icons
  • Custom fonts
Thanks.

C:\Users\[YOUR NAME]\AppData\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\
C:\Users\[YOUR NAME]\Desktop\
and
C:\Windows\Fonts\
This should work. ;)

Thanks, but it isn't finding anything under those paths. Do you know what the files would be called and/or the extensions?
EDIT: I managed to recover my favourites from a JSON bookmarks file. Still need the feeds, desktop icons and custom fonts though.

Desktop icon shortcuts that aren't using any special system variables like the My Computer icon will have the extension: .LNK

Great, thanks!
