Try using the DOS undelete command. If you deleted a lot of files and haven't saved or done much with the hard drive they should still be there. You will have to scroll through each file and provide a first letter to the name. I.E. if it was named "I_am_a_knucklehead_for_deleting_the_wifes_files.ulp"
you would be prompted
Undelete:
?_am_a_knucklehead_for_deleting_the_wifes_files.ulp
you type in: "I" and it goes to the next file. You have to use the undelete program from the directory you deleted the files in. You will probably have to copy it there from the C:\DOS directory or in the c:\windows directory.
I have Win NT4.0 running and I just looked in C:\Windows (no C:\DOS) and they have Axed the Undelete command. However, they were kind enough to replace it with "Recover", but you have to know the path and filename to all of the files you deleted.... Hmmmm... That could suck. Good luck
If you aren't running DOS you are just plain screwed. Leave it to Microsoft to get rid of the only good part of Windows.
