I lost most of the pictures I had taken of my wife's high school reunion, so in desperation, I downloaded a program called "CardRecovery" from <www.cardrecovery.com>, and it worked for me. I cannot promise that it will work for you, but the Website claims that it supports Canon stuff. It isn't free, but it was worth the money to save my marriage. :-)

A few years ago I bought a product called "Search and Recovery" made
by "iolo technologies" that has worked very well from time to time
when I have needed it.  It has the standard undelete utility that
finds data that hasn't been wiped and can reconstruct
directories/folders and the files in them from what it finds.  Cost
was $40.  Got it at Microcenter.  Search and Recover 4 is available
from http://www.iolo.com/ for $40 now.

Generally when something is deleted from removable media, it doesn't
go in the trash.  Most of the time when one deletes files from
removable media, one is trying to recover usable space.  When you
move stuff from its folder to the trash folder you don't recover any
usable space.  You have to empty the trash to recover the usable
space.  That's when Search and Recover is handy.

I just mistakenly deleted a bunch of Canon digital jpg. pics on a
SD card that I erroneously thought I had previously copied  to my
XP Pro computer.

I haven't unplugged the card, turned off the computer or written to
the card since, can't see any immediate undelete choices and the
images aren't in the computer's trash can nor does the card have
one  that I can see.

I see there are  a number of free utilities for such retrieval but
am wary of installing one without recommendation for fear of
installing malware.

Can anyone recommend a bona fide utility software(hopefully
free...) or means to recover the jpgs?
