75233 2002-08-31 05:25:00 i would just like to know where files go after they have been emptied from the recycle bin, do they actualy get removed from the hdd or are they written to some small unknown area on the hdd?

cheers,

Some software is available to try recovery, but its often difficult if more data has been saved and their location partly or fully written over.
