Stop using the computer now until you try to recover the files. Deleted
files are not removed from the drive, just from the directory and their
space marked available for use. The more you use the computer the
greater the chance the files will be over written.

Check in the recovery bin to see if they are there and can be restored.
If not try these utilities:

Try the "PC Inspector":

Note that installing such software *prior* to an accident helps to avoid
that your files get overwritten when installing. If this was already the
case, you'll need professional help (and a lot of money):

Stop all deletes, saves, scan disk (or chkdsk), defrag or anything that will
perform theses tasks, in other words practically all operations (almost).
Even surfing the web and logging on to news groups will do some of these
things. How much are these documents worth to you? If they are, and they're
not in the Recycle Bin, you may have to invest in an undelete or data
recovery program, like you'll find at http://www.r-tt.com/. I say if the
documents are of value to you since purchasing software or paying
professional ($$$) to do this may be your only option in retrieving your
files, there may not be a free way of doing things.

Keep in mind now how nature makes us feel pain and regret deeper and longer
due to our mistakes and poor judgements than, happiness and enjoyment
through our achievements, to teach us a lesson, it's survival. I know your
position to the power of 10. In future back up and then do it again on other
medium and as regular as required, that's the lesson.

You seem to be human after all. ) However, nature is
releasing/refreshing as to its natural term. Mistakes and poor judgments
are a part of life and we grow from them.

I had a flash back while responding to the post of my similar circumstance.
Data loss is not funny and neither is the falling tonne of bricks upon you
that comes from your peers when this happens. Fortunately I recovered it
all, and the pain of the mistake was nowhere near compensated by the joy of
recovery.

I am human, I just take vengeance against those who defend the fallacy of
EULA and product activation like zealots defending it as their own cause.

Good day to you Ms. Kelly.
