I have no time to find the settings now, but if I import or copy any DB or table on my comp. it will simpy copy it with the same name and an additional number, that is I can copy it three times and I will get the original MyDb, MyDb1, MyDb2 and MyDb3.
Your settings are obviously different, sorry in this case you lost it, but be happy it was 12 hours only.
Incidentally I have set my Access so, that I will get no warning when I delete a table, bad idea if you are not careful.
PS just re-read your post again, you are not talking Access at all, you are talking Windows Explorer, sorry, in this case you have overwritten the file. (the fact it was a database means nothing) if you had done nothing in the meantime, you could just go back to the same folder and repeatedly press "control/z" to undo what you have done. I suspect it is too late for that?
