I agree, Jez, worthwhile (and sensible) steps.

Brian,
A few things are worth commenting:
- you said you had put copies in a Favourites folder? Did you lose the
original and the copy? If so it indicates that maybe you didn't make a copy
but made a 'link' in the Favourites folder back to the original.
- do a thorough search (using Google or Windows search) of your hard-drive
for the missing files. You could even search for all *.jpg (or whatever
format) and any you find outside the usual folders need looking into. It's
easy to accidentally drag-and-drop onto the wrong folder, or save into the
wrong location.
- have a look in the Recycle bin, if they were 'deleted' (rather than
corrupted/lost) they'll be in there. Unless you actively manage emptying
the bin, but that defeats the object of having a bin.
- you absolutely MUST sort out a backup strategy!
Good luck!
Jez
