I don't know of one and I'm not sure *I'd* trust a free one. Of course, there are different classes of such programs. There's simple undelete, which just allows you to recover data that remains stored in sectors that are no longer in use. Then there's software, like Executive Undelete and the Norton Recycle Bin manager, that takes over management of the free space on your hard drive to maximize the lifetime of the data that remains in the sectors formerly used by files that have been deleted. Executive Undelete is about $50 and can be downloaded. I'm sure there are other products, but at the time I purchased it, it was the one that had the best ratings in PC Magazine reviews. I have had no disappointments with it at all, and have several of my clients using it, too. -- David W.
