Hi Jeff -
The accidentally lost files might still be recoverable. (Sorry I'm a
bit late posting this.)
First . . . if possible, avoid doing anything on your computer that
would cause anything to be written to the disk where the files used to
reside.
Second, go to
http://www.undelete.com/downloads/menu.asp and look for
the Deleted File Analysis Utility download. Get this utility --
preferably download it from another computer and copy it onto a floppy
disk, to avoid writing to the disk where the lost files were.
Third, run the Deleted File Analysis Utility to see which files can be
recovered. If the utility comes up with positive results, you can
recover the files with Undelete from Executive Software (available at
www.undelete.com).
I hope this helps -
