have gone? or a way to check the settings?

When you delete files over the network, they do not go into any Recycle
Bin as you have unhappily discovered. You can try running data recovery
software on the XP machine where the files originally were. Without
doing that, the files are gone unless you were wise enough to have
backups.
If you use data recovery software, install it on another machine and
either use it from that operating system or create a bootable cd/floppy
and work with that. If you don't have the skill and/or equipment to do
these procedures and the data is crucial, take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop that has experience in doing data
recovery. This will not be your local version of BigStoreUSA. In-shop
data recovery is usually not exactly cheap (for ex., my charges are
generally $150-350USD), but it normally costs less than sending the
drive to a professional data recovery company like Drive Savers. You
need to make the determination of the value of your data and decide
what to do. I use Easy Recovery Pro, but it is expensive. People whom I
respect have recommended R-Studio and Restoration. YMMV.
