288512 2004-11-06 05:56:00 I've accidently press shift+delete to delete a file and just want to know are there any freeware that allows me to recover that file? Or where about is the Recycle Bin folder is located? (not on the desktop but in actual directory) SKT174 (1319)
288513 2004-11-06 06:13:00 system restore should do it
Recycle bin is located in the root of the C Drive
Show hidden files & folders will have to be enabled
Hide protected operating system files will aslo have to be unchecked
I wouldn't trust any freeware recovery apps on my system

288515 2004-11-06 06:33:00 there are such programs do a google search "file deletion recovery" unfortantly im not on my windows machine right now or I would tell you the name of them, there are two that I use, try a forum search on file recovery, I have given the name before, not sure how they go with NTFS file system though. Good luck beama (111)

No, it probably won't unless the file was a system file (but then Windows would have prevented it being dleted as it would be in use)

System Restore is only able to restore System files, not data files.
