Setup Previous Version
Control Panel -> System Icon -> System Protection link -> on C drive click on Configure button -> Select Restore System and previous versions of files and then click OK. It may take a while at first but if everything goes right then the next time you left click a folder and click properties and go to the previous version files. You should see other file folders only if a folder was modified before. If not then you'll just see one folder file
