Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Windows system restore is prone to deleting things essential to Thunderbird. So you have been lucky.

Hi Matt....thanks for the information. and yes you are correct, i was lucky to get my files back. as i've learned over the years, you can never count on windows for anything, it's always a crap shoot. thanks again and have a great day.
