Hi,

I use the FileCopy option, and What happened was I use to to replace my bookmarks in Google Chrome This is how it goes.

Bookmarks1=Everyday Use
Bookmarks2=Study+Work

When I Activate Script it would take

;---------- REPLACES EVERYDAY WITH STUDY
FileCopy "Bookmarks" (Everyday Use) and Paste it in same folder with name "BookmarksORIGINAL" (with over-write option being 1)

It would also...

FileCopy "BookmarksSTUDY" (Study+Work) and Paste it in same folder with name "Bookmarks" (with over-write option being 1)
;---------- END

Once I select the Switch option from the Tray menu again, it would

;---------- BRINGS BACK ORIGINAL BOOKMARKS (EVERYDAY)
FileCopy, "Bookmarks" (Study+Work) and Paste it in same folder with name "BookmarksSTUDY" (with over-write option being 1)

It would also...

FileCopy, "BookmarksORIGINAL" (Everyday Use) and Paste it in same folder with name "Bookmarks" (with over-write option being 1)
;---------- END


As you can see, it basically renames and rewrites the bookmarks between study and everyday use, but for some reason, today I noticed my Study bookmarks were replaced with the everyday use.

This meant that I had two copies of everyday use, and NO COPIES of study which is much more important.

I know that Google makes a bookmark backup names "bookmarks.bak" but that too has the everyday use ones.

I know I should have added a code that also backs up both of them.

So is there anyway that the file could be saved by system when overwritten? Like in the RECYCLER or something? I would do system restore, but I don't think it will bring back that original files, only settings.

Any advice will help

Thank you

You will need a File Recovery program.
