restore photo to original format (jpeg)

[Marie Lites]

I had several photos saved on a USB drive. When I opened one to view it, then
closed it, it changed everything that was saved in a Microsoft Picture
Manager with that icon on eveyone that was saved and when I open any of them,
there is nothing there but the icon. Can you please help me get them back?
Most were saved from our digital camera with a jpeg format. Others that were
not that format are gone too. When I put in the USB the files are still
there, but no photos, just the icon with Microsoft Picture manager.
Thanks for any help.

some thing to keep
in mind,

is to use the usb
to transfer files
on / off the hard
drive.

thus if the files on
the usb were copied
onto the disk then
viewed / opened,

then the files on the
usb would be preserved.

as for any file, if it
is modified and saved,
then there is no undue.

however, perhaps you
can use a graphics
software like photo shop
and see if you can edit
the pics and manually
fix them.
