hi,
Wasn't sure where to put this but here it is.

Came across this this little feature a few weeks ago and found it usefull..

generally if you lose or delete accidently a important file you go to the recycle bin and hope it there or find your self a undelete program ...

however, there another meathod to restore a file in windows 7 that part of
windows 7 .

The feature is called Restore Previous Versions

this article talks all about it and considt of several web pages

I wouldn't rely onthis being your sole meathod for restoring a file butas another item in your list of tricks to recover a file
