Toshiba sattlite running win8.1.
Shortly after installing and running Shareaza I noticed that under one folder, everything in that folder except all sub-folders was gone. All files, photos, and vidieos are gone and the folders show the "empty folder" message. I think I unshared the folder in question. Not sure about exactly how I did that. It seems that the files and pics are completely gone from the computer as I have searched extensively and also tried undelete programs. I now understand that I should not have continued to use the laptop so as not to overwrite the files if they were deleted but too late now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
