a user profile on XP decided to reset it self and lost the data from Desktop folders. documents mostly xls doc files. system restore is not working.
and yes, data are really really important and it's not me a friend did this and i have to solve it some how.
data recovery process is progress but it will take ages and looking for some quick fix for this.

So please help me.

there is no quick fix & C drive is the most unlucky drive to recover data from because data is constantly being written on this drive & data recovery becomes less & less as more & more data is written on the affected drive.i suggest using some recovery software which allows file searching by extension to find those file.

normal system restore was not working so system restore from Safe Mode did the trick. thread can be moved/deleted.
