There is undelete software around. Try download.com - don't install the software on the same partition.

format the fecker then claim it broke. Or better yet, throw it out the window and tell people you formatted it.

If this was a shared drive and not local to that PC then there should be a back up. You will need to contact your IT people though.

Depends on the config on your pc....go into explorer tools - view folders - and check if the system files are set to hidden....if they are take the tick out

this should show your hidden recycle bin - if you are very lucky the files may still be in there even though it shows in the normal bin as empty

If the amount of stuff you deleted is over a certain size then it probably outright deleted, rather than moved to teh bin

This unfortunately is a misconception.

No files are EVER deleted from a pc, what in fact happens is the Operating System marks the drive so that data can be written over it.

That is why there is software which can recover files years after they were deleted as Mong mentioned.

But unfortunately this is normally an expensive practice and can take a long time best thing is to slap yourself and make regular back ups.
