Cheers there Sheikh...head is melting here with it all..Christ knows how many songs were gone...well over a thousand anyway, but i have just got those back by dragging them over and dropping them back onto the playlist? Just dont know what to type in to get my vid's and photo's back into the search window??...And looking at the locale your in...seems like a nice place to be! Cheers too you, and thanks for your response yeah

If you're having more luck with a general search for files (rather than looking in the default saving/sharing locations for your LW version) - look for whatever video formats you might have. For eg .avi, .mpeg, .H264, .wmv, .mov, .mkv or search for the video titles

And for photos, have a search for .jpeg or .jpg, .gif, .png, .tif, .tiff & see whether your files show up

PS We're having your kind of weather here today & it's horrible (still only 12º at half past 1 & it's been hailing all day)
