How do you unerase files in Windows XP ?

If the Recycle Bin hasn't been emptied, you can restore a file by double-clicking on Recycle Bin, right-clicking the file to be restored, and choose Restore from the menu.

If the Recycle Bin has been emptied, you are out of luck with out some third-party software.

I guess the question was not specific enough. I know about recovering files from the recycle bin. This is not really unerasing. I guess the answqer is third-party software, as suggested. Any suggestions as to "good" software?

sorry to say, but deleted is deleted. From the subject of this message, you got pretty close to the product name. You can use UNDELETE from executive software. www.undelete.com. You can also try fastfile recovery www.dtidata.com. They both offera trial. Undelete has a free tool that will tell you what it can recover before buying the product.

If you can, try not to install the utility on the same partition as the file that was deleted. You may unintentionally overwrite the file your trying to recover.

Good Luck.
