Hi
Just in case you have done more than rename or move these files. Maybe deleted them. There is a chance you can still get them back.
Here are 2 free utilities that will recover them if they haven't been written over:
PC Inspector File Recovery http://www.pcinspector.de/smart_media_recovery/uk/welcome.htm
PC Inspector Smart Recovery
They are both freeware.
