Please point me to a book or resource that will tell me how to
retrieve a web page from my hard drive.  This web page no longer
exists on the web.  So, can I get a software program that will
retrieve this from my hard drive...the way you can for deleted files?

Hi Donpeg,

Could you give us some details?

1) Your operating system
2) What browser you use
3) If you use Internet Explorer, the number of days that is defined in
the "Days to keep pages in history:"
4) The web page you want to view, when you last saw it or when it was
last seen on the net.

Have you tried the Search function in Windows98?  Make sure the
options are enabled to "Search for Hidden Files" and "Search for
System Files" and see what turns up for a search on [ leonardcohen ].

If you cannot locate the page on your hard drive, try looking for it
on http://www.archive.org/.

To retrieve/screen your exact web page, try "google desktop search"
utitlity. which is freely availle.

After knowing the exact nature of webpages etc. you can make it whole
web site using winHTtract software. However, these all utilities is
available in Windows 98/xp/2003 based.

Please contact me personally for better suggestions

Thanks for the suggestions.  I tried the search option for hidden
files but did not come up with a whole lot.  Also, the Google desktop
search utility is no good for Windows 98.   I'm a pathetic dinasaur. 
I'm positive the web page in question was deleted on the web server. 
So I guess I'm out of luck. Thanks anyway.
