The following describes the basic SUPERFileRecover user interface.
Search Pane
The search pane allows you to select between the Basic and Advanced searching functions. Select your search location and other options and click the Search Now button to locate deleted files on your drive.
Deleted Files List
The deleted files list shows files that have been deleted and may be previewed and/or recovered. This list will be populated after you have completed a search.
Data/File Preview
The data/file preview window will show the contents of a selected file without any document formatting to help you identify files to restore. In the case of .GIF, .JPG, .PNG and .BMP picture/image files, the actual picture will be displayed for easy identification. The preview window is very useful to identify files that contain valid data for recovery. The preview window does not show document formatting - this means that if you are viewing a word processing file such as a Microsoft Word document you will see the text in the file, but you will not see text in Bold, Italics, etc. or in color. Once the file has been recovered it will appear in its original form with all formatting and colors intact.
