Julie ========================================== If you saw the dialog...Do you wish to replace xxx with xxx... and if you clicked Yes...your original has been overwritten. No guarantees but the following steps may be worth a try. Open Photo Gallery and select the picture you want to restore. Click the Fix button on the toolbar. Now you should see the Revert button. Click the Revert button.

Photo Galley asked if I wanted to replace the photo which was simply named 01, and even after saying yes, it didn't overwrite the original but simply named the second file 01 (2). So I now have the original photo 01 and the renamed version named 01 (2). Are you telling us the WHOLE story? Windows always had double fault warning for actions like this to protect the end user from themselves. ANYTIME you rename a file or copy a file to a location where another file has the same name it asks are you sure?
