[Undelete Logo] Copyright © 1997 Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell Last Updated August 1, 1997 NTUndelete - V1.01 Trial Version Introduction Although NT 4.0 provides a Recycle Bin, it is of very limited use. Only files deleted from the Explorer GUI end up being placed there. Any files zapped from a command window or from within a program are lost forever. NTUndelete is a utility that integrates silently into NT 4.0's existing Recycle Bin to provide full protection of files deleted from anywhere. NTUndelete even honors the Recycle Bin settings configured from the Recycle Bin Properties dialog, including which drives should have protection enabled, and how large the Recycle Bin should be allowed to grow. NTUndelete also provides a filtering dialog that allows you to prevent files of specific extensions not to be sent to the Bin, such as editor backup files, and temporary files. You can also specify directories that will be excluded from protection. Installation NTUndelete is installed with a self-extracting install and Use program. No file extension filters are automatically installed, so after installation you might want to run the NTUndelete filter dialog (placed in the NTUndelete program group) and add to it extensions and directories that you want undelete support disabled for. After rebooting, any files you delete from within programs or the command prompt , which are not being filtered from protection, will be moved to the Recycle Bin. Simply use the Recycle Bin as you would for files deleted from Explorer to recover deleted files. Trial Version This is a trial-version of NTUndelete. It is fully Limitation functional except that it will limit the number of files in the Recycle Bin to 10 files per volume (disk). The full retail version will be available soon at Winternals. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download NTUndelete Trial Version (670KB) [Image]
