I did about the same: My first x86 box came with an apparent pirate
copy of Win 3.1 (no install disks) and I accidentally deleted all the
files in C:\WINDOWS. With UNDELETE you have to know the first character
of the original filename, so for the ones I couldn't guess I called up
my brother and asked him to check his own 3.1 system. Eventually I was
back in business.

Yep. Helped a co-worker who deleted all the files in the C:\
directory on Win 95 about 1997. Undeleted most files and rebooted
with system disk and restored IO.SYS, etc with special command from
floppy. Help desk was taking a long time to come over to fix it.
