wrote some text but got deleted
Hi
I know this is kinda impossible ... but still I decided to ask whether it is possible or not.
I typed for 1 hour and composed a message in notepad (i did not save it by any filename, as I would have pasted that text in some field, in a website)
As I was about to copy it by selecting it all and pressing Ctrl-C, accidentally, the key 'V' (just after letter C in the keyboard) got pressed and all i could see on the notepad window is a 'V' !!!!!!
I immediately pressed Ctrl-V to retrieve the info (as I thought I had cut it instead of copying it) ... but no avail .. seems I had overwritten the whole text with a single character 'V' !!! (sic !)
Is it by any means possible to get the typed info from any temp directory ?
I know I am asking the impossible ...
Regards
S Ray
