Techy Help - another one!!!

I have some erm...personal pictures on my laptop.
Or to be precise I had. I now can't seem to find them. My laptop was in for repair last week, and I'm sure I've seen them since.
But now I can't find them!! And I'm a little worried. I have back ups, but I'm a bit worried about whats happened to them.
Is there a way I can trace them, see if they've been moved?
Thanks

Maybe I'll go to another computer repair shop next time!!!

Those 'personal' files are so easy to forget and leave in embrassing places...
Red you do realise the first thing ANY repair shop does is look for these sort of files as soon as a PC comes in! Why do you think the 'repairs' take so long! wink

It was my laptop, and it was running really slow, kept getting kicked off msn, and net connection was soooooooo slow!!!
Apparantly it was cause I had too many programs running and not enough ram!!! See talking dirty and not even meaning too!!!
