getting back a deleted file

[ping]

Hi

I had a file on my desktop and accidently replaced it
with another file. is there anyway i can get back the
files that i lost in the replacement? they are not in my
recycle bin...is there a place to go to get back deleted
files?

Moving a file to a location where there is already a file of the same name
overwrites the original..

...has a free trial so you can see if it will get your file back before you
pay for it.

I've not used it myself though.

if you overwrote the file with another one, then you will have to replace it
from a backup copy.. you do have a backup, don't you?? if you just delete
it, then it should be in the recycle bin, or you can use various undelete
programs, unless you write to the drive you can usually get it back..
