Recovery of Deleted Items?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi,

Fiels/folders that are accidentally deleted can generally be recovered by an
undelete utility. There are plenty of free ones available on a google
search. Email is a different subject, as most email programs use some sort
of proprietary file type. To recover one, if at all possible, you would need
a utility specific to that program. With many email programs, deletion is
permanent.

Look at the fifth word of the quote from the OP..

Re. Windows Explorer references, many people seem to believe that everything
is stored in Windows Explorer and/or registry.. eminently not true of
course..

Your suggestion to the OP to look in 'deleted' items is a good one, assuming
that the OP hasn't emptied the 'deleted items' box..
