The description of system restore is clear - it protects "system files" -
system files have nothing to do with your files.
If you throw away (delete) a file in Windows and it goes in the recycle
bin - that is your chance to restore those files. When you delete them from
the recycle bin (or delete a file from a network drive and/or press
shift+del when deleting) - the file is being erased "permanently".

System restore only restores system files. If you have not emptied the
Recycle Bin then you can restore what you've put in it by navigating to the
Recycle Bin with Explorer, selecting the item and selecting Restore. If you
have emptied the Recycle Bin the data may still be on your PC if you haven't
done a defrag, but, you will need a third party data recovery application.

You can't really retrieve anything once the recycle bin is emptied, not
without complicated and intensive file retrieval procedures.

Were both valid suggestions to this thread that contain answers that are
free/not too complicated. =)

good advice and if this does not work go to
http://www.hddrecovery.com.au/HDD_R_Studio.htm and pull down a copy of
the demo software for R Studio. Try to avoid installing the software
on the hard drive with the lost files, there is a chance that this may
over write the file/s you are looking for. Down load it onto another
pc, install it there and then copy the program folder to a cd. Use the
cd and run R Studio demo from the cd on the affected PC and do looking
for deleted files. Good luck. Its worth remembering that windows is
not a very good house keeper. All files and folders that have been
deleted remain available for recovery until the sppace they occupy is
needed by another file.
