I need a quick answer wizkids. Is it possible to recover deleted files/folders when they have been completely deleted. i.e. gone recycle bin? M

Undelete only works on FAT based disks afair. Also not sure, but if it got moved to the recycle bin and deleted you may be SOOL.

If you can get your hands on Norton utilities, it's got an very good undelete program. But it's my guess that the files have already been overwritten. And even installing Norton may overwrite them
