I was working for an afterhours customer and instinctively emptied their Outlook deleted items folder. What a mistake. They needed some of the files, they just wanted them out of the inbox. I gotta watch that itchy delete finger. Any ideas? I know that a pst is really a little database file and stuff doesn't get deleted until you "compact" it. But how do you surface the deleted files again? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
