Please help me out this problem. After messing up with my PC system runing
Windows-XP, I found many of the Word document files have been deleted
completely. Does the compress old files still have a copy of these files? if
so, where can I find this compress file and do de-compress this file to
retrieve the missing files?

Thanks,
 
Compressed files show up in blue text, they are not deleted.

If you have somehow managed to delete .doc files...

This may be a moot point now, but in the future when you delete something or
empty your Recycle Bin and want to recover something from it... Stop using
the computer now. Your recovery chances are better if the file has not been
overwritten.

This is free.

Description
[[Restore files which are deleted from the recycle bin or deleted while
holding down the Shift key by mistake. Conversely, this program has another
function that makes it almost impossible to restore all deleted files. You
can use it after deletion of confidential documents, embarrassing files and
so on.]]

You might want to download this with a friend's machine and save it to a
floppy. Restoration will run fine from a floppy, that's how I run it.
