If there is no backup, your last vestige of hope would be your Windows
recycle bin (otherwise known as the trash bin, recovery bin or whatever else
there may be in place as an alternative) provided that it hasn't been
emptied or the files already over-written since you deleted the files in
which case, to quote an old venerable phrase "You're S-O-L".
Failing the availability of any <backup>, the term "backup" will (should) no
doubt take on a whole new meaning and importance in 2010 for things going
forward if the lost information was even mildly important - something many
others would also be well advised to add to their list of New Year's
resolutions for what costs so little and saves so much.
