UNdo/ Restore My Pictures Folder

Somehow Just now I moved all the contents in My Pictures one level
higher into My Documents. While I could manually move back those
directories/files one-by-one back to My Pictures Folder. But is it
overly tedious (Directories are easy, not those previous pics not
filed under any folder).

Any way to UNDO/ restore the My Pictures Folder to what it was prior
to the accidental change.

I tried System Restore to the Sunday at 2-days back ; but it seemed
not working this way.

Sort them by "Type" and then you can easily move them in "blocks" of
same file types.

The "Accidntial Move" of the contents (directories/files) from "My
Pictures" Folder to "My Documents" Folder occurred a few hours ago.

Wondering any attributes/flags in XP Explorer would easily help
identifying the "Moved" contents?
Currently, "Date Created" "Date Modified" "Date Accessed" are not
helping in my case.

I'm afraid there is no such attribute. The thing to do would have been
to use Explorer's Undo feature right after the mistake but it's now too
late for that. Otherwise you can simply use your backup and restore the
folders and their contents to their prior state.

You could have press Ctrl/Z to Undo the last operation.. too late now,
but something you can try the next time.
