If the file type does not appear in the list, it means that we have not gone through the process for that particular file type.
Usually we would say that if you send us 3 samples of a particular file, we can try and add it to the list. However we are at present working on getting Version 4 of Recover My Files released (it is a major new re-write from ground up) so we do not currently have the resources to dedicate to adding new file types.
Recover My Files is sold retail in the USA. The main distributor was CompUSA (may they rest in peace). You may find that other retail stores are running down the stock of version 3 in preparation to get version 4 out later in the year. The best way to find a current stockist would be to contact our USA distributor on 1.801.224.2955

Hi Graham,
A local computer store recovered my files using "Recover My Files" software. Quite impressive. They used the "MFT" scan approach.
QUESTIONS:
1. Can I assume that, if the folders and files were "recovered" and show with correct file name, that those folders/files are "intact" and NOT corrupted? The entire Netscape 7.2 file path was recovered....but I don't know if all the sub-files are corrupted or not?
2. All of the 271 "Lost Files" had the File Name format of "MFT XXXXX", where the X's are numbers. Is there a way to determine what these original files were so that I can re-constitute these files with the correct file extension and maybe salvage those 271 files?
Thanks.
