Oh the irony

My daughter can't find the file for her GCSE IT project.

You're taking a big risk using the 'i' word.

Ha, and there was me thinking you meant one of these:

Superb.

ETA: Oh, and bonus points for not bothering to help her but instead posting her misery for the world to see !!

Well the OP is a bit (well, quite a lot) light on information which might be helpful to those with the skills to assist. Presumably this is a computer folder which has gone walkabout, so:
-What OS is it on?
-What searches have been made? Have all the drives been trawled (really trawled) for keywords, file types or anything else which might be unique to the folder contents? Recycle bin checked?
-Any other folders missing? If so can they be found?
-Is there a backup, even a bit dated, at school? (First rule of computer held data, backup externally and regularly. The hardware outlay suddenly seems very small when the original data vanishes, as mine did due to hard drive failure).

ETA this thread might attract some more knowledgeable types if it was in Computers, Gadgets 'n Stuff.

Dogwatch, I don't think he's looking for help, I think he's looking to laugh at her misfortune, hence the title!

I'm not really sure if the OP gives a toss about the file, he's just sharing his amusment with the world!

If you help him them thIs will be moved to Computers, gadgets etc.

Let's all just laugh. and be content on the knowledge that not all teens are born into computing.

Well I sorted out! Rebooted, and then she found it. Beats the hell out of me!

Tell us again who's the one taking a GCSE in IT?

Wow...2hrs and still no sign of wedding days and traffic jams. PH is slacking.

Cool story bro.

A level of irony only to be topped by 50% of the 'Health & Beauty' students at my old college

certainly not healthy and far from beauties
