Deleted User Account Files

[Joseph O]

I've got a question regarding a stand alone Windows XP SP2 Home
installation.
If through the Control Panel you delete a User Account, and say yes to
delete the associated files, is there any way to bring back those Data Files
that were stored under that users "Shared" folder?
I didn't realize it would delete out some Excel Docs inside that User Shared
Folder.
Any help would be great!!
TIA
Joseph

If you have System Restore enabled, try restoring back to a time prior to deleting the files.

Thanks Ronnie - that was my first instinct. I'd made a recovery point right
as I started working on the PC, and restored it to that point with no luck.
I did find this application:

Do you or anyone else have any input on it's worthiness?
Ever use it before?

Hi Ronnie,

System Restore will restore the account and the user documents folder,
but will not restore the documents in that folder.
