Does WMP have a hidden storage for recently/history file that I can access?
I'm asking because my mother and I watched footage from a SD Card on WMP of someone stealing from our home and damaging some of our property. My mom erased the footage assuming I had it saved.
Can someone help me or give advice on how to get footage back, if possible?
If it is still on the recent play list then yes:
Start Registry Editor.
Locate, and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentFileList
