Trouble selecting User folders/files for recovery
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2016 11:19 pm
I don't know if it's because I've switched to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or because I'm using the new version of R-Studio, but I'm finding it difficult to accurately select folders and files for recovery from a secondary hard drive. After listing files on the drive, I navigate to a User folder. In there, I see both "Documents" and "My Documents". One is a link, I believe, but selecting either one selects the other. But when I deselect one, it doesn't deselect the other. Or the "recover files" button gets greyed out, even though I have other folders and files selected. On a recent recovery attempt, I couldn't find the selected-for-recovery "My Documents" folder in the recovery target location. It was only after that I enabled the viewing of system files that I could see it.
How do I more reliably select subsets of data from a User folder? I typically only care about My Documents, My Pictures, My Videos, Desktop, Downloads and Favorites, and not AppData and others.
Thanks!
