This sounds pretty bad and I hope that you can find your images, again.

Which version of XnView did you use?

To find your images, you should use the search of MS Explorer or XnView. When renaming the images, XnView keeps the timestamp of the images by default. So a search with MS Explorer for files that have been changed/created in a specific time frame is a good idea. When searching, you might want to search the whole hard disk, unless you can remember the target dir.

Cross fingers that you find your pics!

Helmut
