The second worst thing that could happen is that it works and you still
don't create backups for the next time it happens. Because your chances
are not all that good.
Do a search in Google under "file recovery" or "undelete file" for a free
program. There are lots of them around. Norton utilities has it but is not
free.
If it is a file you deleted "recently" then Otto is right on the mark.
It's easy to get it back from the recycle bin if it hasn't been flushed
out of there yet by more recent deletions filling the bin. No software
or anything required.
This is definitely the very first thing to try. The second of course is
to set up regular backups so you don't get bit by this again!
