Oh sweet Lord, that was too damned close.

Vista just decided to "forget" that my .ac file for this mesh, the subfolder with it's textures, everything even existed. They vanished from the directory, there were no deleted files I could recover, nothing. Its like the entire thing just suddenly ceased to exist.

Finished a system restore, still can't see my files for this model in explorer, but at least it restored them enough for AC3D and my image software to see the files again. Needless to say I immediately saved copies of everything to an external thumbdrive and sent Microsoft a "WTF?" letter.

I would say to make sure you back your stuff up in multiple places if you're using Vista, but seeing as how it wiped out files in entirely different directories, I don't think it will help.
