It's a sticky, silly. You're always allowed to post in stickies, and anything higher.

Unless it's locked, but that shouldn't be a problem, since you can't really post...lol

I'll help you my double-o negro. We can add some voice also, so that it is clear and to the point instead of that type-writer crap

I have gone through this guide, and I have to say it is a very good guide on restoring units. You get to learn a lot of scripting/coding through this tutorial too. Restoring objects on the map such as creeps is one of the hardest things to recover after unprotecting a map. Me, I have a bigger issue I've been trying to deal with for months. It is the recovery of custom items in custom shops/buildings. Once the map is unprotected, the custom items are gone. I understand that map protection is done by deleting certain required files and eliminates the possibility of recovering them and decreases load times on a map. Is it impossible to recover items in a map unprotected?

No, it's possible to keep the custom objects. Just open the original map, extract the correct file, open the Object Editor, and hit File>Import Custom (whatever tab it is)... and choose the file you extracted.

So that you can get the right files, here's a list of the custom object files in a map.
war3map.j - Jass Triggers
war3map.wts - Strings

war3map.w3b - Destructibles
war3map.w3d - Doodads
war3map.w3h - Buffs/Effects
war3map.w3q - Upgrades
war3map.w3t - Items
