need help retrieving info

**musclehead1** · 03-21-2007, 03:18 PM

hey bros, my hotmail account closed because of no activity for 30days and as everybody knows all the info in the account gets deleted. Is there anyway to get that info back? There was an attachment which i open (it was in word) and thats all i need. If anyone knows if that was stored on my computer somewhere somehow that would help me out so very much.

its not stored on your computers hard drive so your outta luck. However if you did save the attachment you could use a program like EZ recover to try and retrieve it but im guessing your outta luck.

actually, almost everything you view on your computer can be retrieved. (even deleted stuff, to an extent.) if i had your computer i could probably find it for you, but i can't explain how to do it. you could find a computer forensics specialist

If you opened and viewed it in Hotmail, and didn't clear your cache, you might have it stored there.

For XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Settings\

The IT guy at work told me everything you view on your pc is stored...even when deleted. The only way to permanently delete something is too have your hard drive completely cleaned by some disk....so chances of getting that info back are good...but is it worth the hassle?
