Hello Jeff - 

SW>> Yes this is by design, in dos when you issuse a del
SW>> command it is deleted and dosn't go to the recylcle bin. 

JF> Yes, this is what I've been able to find out. I did,
JF> however, get  a link to something called BigBin that makes
JF> it possible. It sits in the tasktray (system tray, whatever
JF> they want to call it). Any files deleted from within a dos
JF> window are sent to the recycle bin. It seems fairly old and
JF> slow but it does work. 

SW>> However there used to be a command to undelete files but I

JF> I have a program called Recover4All that will undelete

JF> drive you choose) 

I had found an undelete and I really think it came from
Microsoft? 

I tried it from within W98SE and it had a very clean `window'
that not only would undelete files it displayed all that it
could undelete and allowed you to mark the ones you wanted
back. It was very nice and I've lost track of where I put it
and can't recall where I found it either. 

I think it was written by Central Point Software and I remember
thinking that Microsoft must have purchased them at some point. 

I'm sorry I can't be more help but this has me really
frustrated - having had the program, tested it, then misplaced
it. :-\
