Go into the internet and google search for data
recovery. You can find some sites that offer free demo
software. Even though it will not recover your files it
will work to show you that they are still there.
Assuming that you find that your files are still in tacy,
you can typically downlod the software after paying the
toll. Make sure that you download to a floppy disk, as
downloading to your hard drive may result in overwriting
the deleted files.

Always check the Recycle Bin first.
If the file is there, right click the file then click Restore.

It is important not to do anything with the computer until a decision
is made.
Every boot and even every keystroke potentially permanently destroys
the data.

Some 3rd party tools such as Norton System Works have utilities like
"Norton Protected Recycle Bin"
Check you documentation if you think you may have this capability.
