File recovery has never been easier thanks to Pandora Recovery. The
program's wizard-like approach to finding and retrieving lost files will
appeal to all users.
The user interface is about as
straightforward as it gets. Clean and simple menu and command buttons
run across the top of the paneled window, while a tree-menu containing
hard-disk folders to browse resides in a sidebar. But what stood out the
most was the program's wizard, which walked us through the process of
locating long-lost files. It first prompts you to check your Recycle
Bin, which sounds obvious, but is a necessary time-saver. The program
has three search settings (Browse, Search, Deep Scan) and each has its
own description so that you'll know which to choose. Depending on the
search setting you select, the program's interface changes to
accommodate the search. We started with a Deep Scan, which detects
deleted file types. Once we selected the file types to include in the
scan (All, Images & Photo, Archived Files, Music & Sounds) the
program immediately went to work scanning our hard disk. Considering the
task at hand, the program quickly pulled up deleted files.
We
liked the quick help links located throughout the interface to answer
specific questions, but the program does included a very thorough
built-in Help file. Our only complaint is that it left files that had to
be manually deleted during un-installation. However, we highly recommend
this free program for any user looking to quickly locate a lost file.
