Question by wilbur 62: How do i restore files that were deleted out of my recycling bin?
I think my friend deleted files that i have in my recycling bin. I had those files in there so i can clear up my documents and restore them back whenever i want to send stuff to an online address. Is there a way for me to get my items back that was deleted out of my recycling bin?

Go to start, then accessories, system tools and system restore. The restore screen will come up, then choose yesterday’s date and click, ok. Just let the computer do its thing. I hope this works. Lisa
I’m not sure if this will work but you could try the system restore feature in windows?
Don’t be panic. The first thing you need to notice is: do not put more files or other data in the same place where your deleted files were stored to void data overwriting.
Then you can try some data recovery software. You can see

It tells the steps how to perform data recovery, including data lost from emptying recycle bin.
its easy but a bit tricky first go to the start button open run then type msconfig then ok and then go to the startup tab then disable all files for now also go to services tab and disable all services(including microsoft services) just for retrieving ur deleted files as microsoft disabled this option of restoring deleted files so u must have to do this and then press apply and then ok.
ur system will reboot===== then simple go to the recyclebin u and go to its properties then u will find two tabs one general and other specific ……..in the specific tab there will be the option…..select date when ur file was deleted ur recycle bin will show the list of the items deleted on that date…check mark the item u want to restore then press ok……
thats it u will retrive ur delete files.

I followed these instructions but there is no specific tab in the recycle bin properties. Just the General tab. I’m using windows vista basic.Do you have another solution?

You are going to need to get a file recovery program. There are some free and shareware programs available.
