The files themselves are fine, it's the file structure that's scrambled. For example, multiple (partial) pictures files scattered throughout her file structure.

My wife is running Win 7 on a Dell box. Sometime over the last couple of days the contents of her HD were scrambled. Scores of pictured and documents are scattered throughout the recycle bin and in dozens of spots throughout her file system. It looks like her file structure was hit with a randomizer. At this time there is no telling how much was lost. (With that much damage, I can't believe that it's all there.)

Finding and putting things back in a reasonable order is going to to be a major job. She would like to know:

1) what caused it

2) once she collects things, what can be done to prevent it from happening again.

Answers will require the help of someone who knows a lot more about Windows than I do.

Any help, suggestions, or name recommendations, either on or off list, will be gratefully accepted.
