Hi naseeam,<br />
<br />
It is really depends on what time you created the file and what time you modified it.<br />
<br />
Try to use windows restore and try to choose the restore point that one day before you modified the file. <br />
<br />
Here are some links might help:<br />

How to recover overwritten text file

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
