I deleted some important files on the desktop and I'd like to recover them. Is there a Data Recovery software that look for the desktop only?
Thanks

You might have to make a usb or dvd boot with MiniTool Power Data Recovery portable version on it. The less Windows is used, the better off the undeletion/recovery efforts will be. Actually, there are a great number of data recovery utilities, Restorer, Stellar, R-Studio, and so many more. The main thing, use Windows a lot less, use any usb or dvd boot and its utility much more.

Disregard most of this. If data was lost on the computer you're on, shut it off by physically unplugging it (don't shut down as that will perform logging which creates new data) and make a clone of the drive using another computer. Every second the computer is on it's creating new data that can be overwriting data.
That having been said, all data recovery software is going to need to scan the whole drive. You can't scan "just the desktop" because the data isn't actually stored on the desktop like you're thinking. A folder (including the desktop folder) is just an entry in the file system that referrs to some file entries. Where the data is physically stored on the HDD has no relation to the folder it's in. So when a file is deleted from a folder the entry is usually gone and the file will need to be found by scanning the whole drive.

Thanks for your precious news.
If the HD has no physical failure, if the HD has no "logical" failure, if all you did was delete several important files, and, if you did not, prior to or after posting this thread "try everything known to man", all you need to do is usb or dvd boot MiniTool Power Data Recovery, portable version, and let it scan the whole hard-drive as Jared said [there is NO scanning "the desktop"] -- I thought I made that clear earlier, I guess not.

R-Studio a crap?? in this case ??

R-Studio can do quite a number of things that little or no other software can actually do. GDB is fine, but I can do far more with R-Studio. I've seen tons of cases where GDB didn't files that R-Studio could, or where R-Studio could rebuild folder structure where no other software could.
You've just got to understand how to use the program. For example, you mention getting too many false file leads. Did you know you can completely control that side of the program. You can disable file types that commonly get false leads, you can modify and even re-create ones that exist so you can refine their results, and you can even add your own file types in.
