recover files

Yes, if the Network administrator didn't delete the directory of the user. The files should still staying in the server. Both of these questions, you have to ask the administrator for answer. Hope this help!

Have the Admin scan the entire hard drive on the server for the file. If they can't find it, R-Studio recovery software. The only way to recover a file deleted over the network. Admin has to run it on the server.

these files were located on the PC not the server.

Try using a software package such as Active file recovery, you can download it from
WWW.FILE-RECOVERY.net it costs about $48.00 us, there are also several others on the net. If the files have been overwritten it may be difficult but you can be lucky.

User #1 shares a PC with myself. I have another PC which I backed-up the files to the night he encountered this problem. However in trying to figure out what had happened to him and re-create the event I lost my files on both PC's. The administratorhad removed administrator rights from all Techs when this happened but when it was added back to mine and I logged in is when I lost my files.

Buying recovery software is not an option!!!

Point value changed by question poster.

Were the files stored on the server or the local pc? If the files were on the server simply recover them from your server backup tapes. If they were deleted from the local pc then recover them from whatever fault tolerance you have applied locally. In either case, you should probably leave advanced administration to your network administrator.
