I have got the problem, all of a sudden, of Windows XP deleting files first time instead of putting them in the Recycle Bin, which I think I have got a solution for, but can Recuva recover the files that are stuck in the Recycle Bin (if they are still in Windows obviously?)

[Winapp2.ini]

Right click on the recycle bin, chose properties, check "custom size" instead of "don't move files to the recycle bin"

As for the second part, you can try it, but I don't know if that'll work.

[Winapp2.ini]

you can manually navigate to the C:\RECYCLER or C:\RECYCLE.BIN folders?

If files are in the recycle bin I would expect that you could open the bin and restore them to where they came from.
If files have been deleted and exist in "free space" I would not expect Windows to place them in the Recycle bin.

Do you think that Windows actually put your files into the Recycle bin and then Emptied the Recycle Bin ?
I do not think that can happen - but to be honest Windows never does what I think it should do.
