Do the search on the whole computer and not just a certain folder. It is going to come up with a lot of search results, but if you recognize one of the file names as that of the Hot Rods, you can trace back to where they got moved to. If you find no familiar files, then they must have gotten trashed. Norton Utilities used to have a file recovery program but it is time consuming and pretty frustrating.
Hope you find them, I enjoy the pictures!
