Document Recovery

[MEGALITHIC]

I need help. I'm using Windows 7 operating system. Didn't know that emptying the "recently changed" folder and then emptying the recycle bin would see me lose a whole bunch of important stuff, that was in the documents folder, that I really didn't want to lose. Have tried using the the recovery and restore option but to no avail. Is their anyone out there who can help me out with this; are those documents still recoverable or not? If they are then it's probably a bit beyond my capabilities with the computer so I'm willing to pay someone for their time in helping me out. Thanks and most appreciated.

Appreciation isn't enough, your should arrange a mug of cold beer, Heineken.

Stop writing to that drive immediately.

Two useful recovery apps for this purpose: Restoration and Panda Recovery.

Google around or Youtube, and you should find tutorial, because these are free (and thus quite popular) tools and very simple to use.

I previously used Restoration to recover accidentally deleted files and recovered nearly 100%.
