Err - if you are running XP i think using system restore will get your files back.... as long as you have not overwritten the area on your drive the data was on it is NOT gone. you could try using some recovery software if system volume restore does not work. (also try browsing to c:\systemvolumerestore
or
c:\system voume information
in dos and see if your files are there, i believe this is where windows keeps things for use in volume restores.
Recovery software would be :

I am not an XP user, so can i ask another expert to confirm this before going ahead :~)
I recommend you use a trial version of tuneup utilities 2004, it does not only undelete files there are many utilities that would speed up your pc, its reliable and it would tell you if the file you are going to recover is still in a good condition or not
