Default C:\Lost Files folder

Our IT administrator deleted my personal profile on my C:\drive C:\documents and settings, did a system restore and then created a new personal profile to fix a problem on my computer. The old profile was not backed up and what we did not realise was that this old profile became the default location for saving my personal Paperport files and they have all been deleted along with the old profile.

I downloaded the free software and did a Complete Search of Paperport files .max and found there are a lot of Paperport files listed in the C:\Lost Files folder. However, there is no recognisable file name or creation date associated with these files, all the files are shown as being 1024KB and under 'Recovery' it says unknown.

I would like to know if there is a way of determining if these are indeed the files I'm trying to locate before purchasing the software. If the files are indeed 'lost' or unrecoverable then it seems pointless investing in the software. I did try and preview one of the files but it does not open.
