Try looking in the Recycle Bin. If not, please see: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Crash_Recovery#Automatic_recovery_tools .

Audacity only has limited command-line support. The only current command-line functions are that you can open audio files or Audacity project files (including multiple files) by passing them as arguments, for example: $ audacity file1.aiff file2.wav file3.ogg The following options are also supported...

I don't understand "minimises the windows", but if you are selecting using the keyboard or Selection Toolbar this may be very slow. That will be fixed in the next 2.0.6 version when released. Where is your temporary directory (Edit > Preferences, choose Directories on the left) and where a...

Now need to know if i can compile a recording with the au files. If you are trying to reopen a project that was properly saved (no crash), open the AUP file and leave the AU files alone. If you still have a 1.2 version of Audacity that crashed before you saved a recording, and then launch 1.2, it w...
