well, it's probably too late now, but Mac OS X has this neat little 'undo' feature when moving files around. You could use Sherlocks find by content feature if you know what was in one of the files. I'm surprised that it simply disappeared without a trace! If that doesn't work then you should have him check his backup. -Dave -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
