Gah. Whenever I finish somethig due in a year or a week it doesn't matter. I just print it right away. You should think of that too

You can download free system recovery software - there are quite a few out there. Don't worry, you'll get it back in no time. In order to prevent such situations, create a new user account on your computer that is password protected (assuming that it is a computer that you share with your parents, so you can't ban them from using it)

There's a document recovery program called Recuva and it should work. It's free to download. Just search it on Google. Hope you get it back.

YDI for not locking your account on the computer.

Next time save as : DO NOT ERASE DAD!!!

that blows. my dad destroyed my hard drive once to "protect" me from spyware. bye bye years of work. and yes, internet, now i back up everything. it happened in 1999 before everyone knew that... sadly

so why the hell are u on here go do the ******* assignment

recycle bin, recovery software? it's there somewhere. and to all the dumbasses being like 'hellooo system restore?' it doesn't work for the users files you idiot, only program changes and system files - unless you actually back them up in which case, once again there is no problem

What the hell? Why was my comment removed? There was nothing breaking the rules in it!

(1) Haven't you ever heard of user passwords or flash drives? Don't give them to your folks. (2) Your dad is a [Richard Cranium]. Let him have it.
