You need to stop using the computer - assuming you still are. Even just
booting it and leaving it idle can result in your deleted files being overwritten with other data. And don't defrag! If you don't use the computer between deleting the files and running data recovery software, the chances of success are very high. The more you use it, the less likely that becomes. Then you have options of various recovery/undelete utilities. Many here recommend one or two freeware file recovery programs, but I've never found them particularly powerful. One you pay for that's pretty good is Iolo's Search and Recover. Best to type "file recovery" or "data recovery" into Google. If software can't recover the files you have the option of getting in a data recovery company who will charge lots to do it using hardware. Shane "Louis" wrote in message ...

Retrieved files are copied to another drive: http://www.recover4all.com/ --- Ron Badour, MS MVP W95/98 Systems Tips: http://badour.freewebsites.com/index.html ---- Ran across this and thought it might be of use to those concerned with data recovery operations. http://pjwalczak.com/scaven/index.php Regards, Jim Byrd ---- One option is "FileRestore" from Winternals Software-- http://www.winternals.com/products/r...ilerestore.asp This $39 utility recovers files deleted from any Windows XP/2000/NT/Me/9x system regardless of whether emptied from the Recycle Bin, deleted via a command prompt or with a removed directory, by a remote process or uninstall, etc. It's designed to be effective regardless of whether installed before or after an accidental deletion. FileRestore works on NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 drives. It recovers files (including compressed files) deleted from hard drives- plus floppy disks, Jaz, Zip, and even CompactFlash photo cards. Please note: Regardless of which recovery program is used, it is recommended that you-- To the extent possible stop all disk activity on your system without shutting the system down. Turn off any scheduled defragmentation and do not defrag your system until lost files are recovered. Close all applications including email and Web browsing software and, if removable media such as a floppy disk drive is available on your system, disconnect your system from the network as soon as is practical. This will reduce the possibility that deleted files will be overwritten. If installing FileRestore, we recommend that you download and install it on a second computer and follow the "Emergency Installation" procedure in the Help file. This procedure will allow you to run FileRestore from a floppy disk or network drive to help maximize the chances of recovery. Most file recovery utilities are unable to recover data from accidentally formatted partitions. "Disk Commander" from Winternals Software is a utility designed for this purpose, among other things: http://www.winternals.com/products/r...kcommander.asp - Paul (a Winternals employee) ---- And "Restoration".
