    Not that I'm aware of. There's some software that allows for entire disk fulls of data to be restored (our field techs have to use this from time to time at my place of work)... forgot what it's called... but it wouldn't help you since you're only looking for a specific file. For all intensive purposes, once windows deletes it from the recycle bin it's gone.

    There're lots of applications that can restore deleted files: EasyRecovery Pro, some utility from Norton, Undelete for NT-Win2K. On different occasions I've used EasyRecovery and Undelete successfully. They pretty much work as advertised.

    It's not reeeeally gone unless the sectors which the data resides on is overwritten. Whenever data is purged from the recycle bin, Windows just flags the sectors as overwritable.

    That's true, I wasn't aware that the apps needed to restore that data were so readily available. :)
