## File Panel

File panel displays virtual directory structure and allows browsing through directories and selecting items to recover or to open them in the Disk Editor. You should open a volume to access the file panel.

Open virtual directory `[All Found]` to scan volume and display all found and removed files and directories and rebuild virtual directory structure. The results of NTFS/FAT Search are used for rebuilding.

To recover files marked as "found" or "deleted" (see icon description below) the corresponding options must be selected in the data recovery dialog box.

Directory structure is virtual and may differ from the one that can be found directly on the disk or in the standard browser. Virtual names are enclosed in square brackets or begin with the sign `$` and are usually placed in the topmost level of the directory structure. Virtual directory `$Root` generally corresponds to a root directory of a volume in the standard browser.

Press `Enter` key or double click to open the directory, or open the file in the Disk Editor.
Press `Ctrl+Enter` to open the item in the Disk Editor.
Press `Insert` key or `Space Bar` or click the checkbox to toggle marking the item for recovery.
Press `Shift+F9`/`Shift+F10` or right click the item for a context menu.
