Oops,

I started a batch file that deleted some *lnk and other
stuff.
In the early days there was an undelete app.
Now under XP prof I cannot find it.
Any suggestions?

Grtz,
Vctr
 
Hi Victor,

There is no undelete function in Windows, not in a long, long time. To try
and retrieve your deleted files, you would want to use an undelete utility.
These are commonly available for free, and work on the premise that the
space the file formerly occupied has not been overwritten with new data yet.
Once that has occured, recovery requires more extensive (and expensive) work
with dedicated forensic tools by someone who knows what they are doing.

This one here works quite well for basic file recovery:
