Can a"Shift Delete" be undone?

Can a "shift delete" be undone in Windows 2000?

For some reason the parent folder was deleted rather than the one which I had highlighted. Finger trouble probably but can the damage be undone?

Yes, as long as you don't write to the drive (the likelihood of recovery goes down the more you write to the drive, as the area on the disk where the deleted file was stored can be overwritten)

Directory Snoop can recover deleted files. The trial should be able to do it if it's an individual file, and not an entire directory.

Recuva is free. Same people that do CCleaner.
