8503 2001-02-08 15:43:00 Hi people

How does one retrieve files or work that has been emptied from the Recycle bin???

I was told that I had to go thru DOS. The troble is I don't anything about DOS.

Your help will surely be appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Newbie

8504 2001-02-10 12:35:00 You have two options: use the DOS 6.22 UNDELETE command (requires knowledge of DOS), or use a third-party undelete tool (I think Norton SystemWorks includes one) (probably can get by without knowledge of DOS, but it will cost you $). Guest (0)
8505 2001-02-10 12:36:00 Oh, I meant to say: caveat: neither method is guaranteed to actually recover your deleted file. Once a file is deleted, the space it occupied on the disk is marked as being free and if Windows subsequently decides to use that space to store something else, the original file will not be recoverable.
