I deleted my research paper by accident

I have such a messy desktop with a bunch of Ms Word files on it. I must of accidentally deleted my research paper a couple of days back when I was cleaning the desktop up. I don't even know when I did it so recovering it is probably not possible :(. So ppl, make sure you keep an extra copy of your work around. I'm lucky though cuz the paper is not due yet.

    just do a roll back (system restore) and it should be fine... even though you don't know when it happened, the roll back has a log... so you can see what did you do and when...

    Anyway, good luck...

    There are also some file undeleters out there, but you need to have a second hard drive or a USB key to run the program off of, or you end up defeating the purpose of the undeleters. :)

    Lesson learned here, dont every delete anything. Just create a new folder whenever desktop is super messy and dump all the files in the folder and label folder with date created
