PC specialist's help is needed

Try Norton. Most versions of Win95 also come with UNDELETE.EXE or a
similar utility. If you don't have that, try opening files in
directories where Win95 stores temporary information, for instance
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. Finally, if that doesn't work you can try downloading
undelete utilities from the net. You can find these by going to
http://www.zdnet.com/downloads and typing in "undelete" in the Search
box. But be warned: the first part of your hard disk to be written with
new, downloaded data is usually the part that contains recently deleted
data. Writing new information to the disk could destroy your files
forever.
