    MS Paint Unsaved File Recovery?


    I know this is crazy, but during a few important work calls last week I took screenshots - and out of habit - posted them to regular MS Paint in a rush. I had about 10 different screenshots. I never saved them. I woke my computer up from sleep today they've been there for days and were gone.


    Is there ANYTHING I can do to get them? I have a restore point to April 6, if I restore to that date will they show up again as open files is the restore point a pure screenshot of point in time?


    Please help, thank you so much! and yes I know to do Windows + PrsntScrn now and other options, but I need help with the above.


    I see this article:

    How do I recover them?

    :)

    MS Paint Recent Files


    Here s a partial solution. Works for Windows 10 as well.

    Paint - Delete Recent Pictures from List in Windows - Windows 7 Help Forums

    This will clear it but of not disable list ie you would have to do again later etc.
