System Restore Question?

I accidentally emptied my recycle bin when it consisted of important files I need. My question is, will a System Restore restore my items? I'm using Vista if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

    NO it will most likely not. System restore doesn't really restore all your data to what it was before. Instead it changes any setting back to what they were, and perhaps uninstalls some programs that were installed after the restore image was made. Windows backup, however, does back up all of your files.

    *lighting fixtures fixtures cigarette* equipment restoration won't be time commute by using fact all you're doing is reversing strikes that have been achieved before - time commute could be undemanding if there grow to be something recording us, yet there's no longer something that all of us be attentive to of. So the closest we are able to get to time commute is the 13:00->12:00 Heathrow Airport to LAX.

    No, system restore only affects system files, registry entries and other system related files. This is statement directly from the MS system restore web page.

    System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos, so it cannot help you restore a deleted file.

    The files are removed from your computer. But you can recover them using GetData Recover My Files.

    P.S. System Restore won't help

    Yes, it will because you recycled your data, not completely remove it from your computer, your computer actually generates a temp data.
