Somehow I deleted all of the pictures (and other files) I had on my computer. I downloaded virtual something or other and it found all of the deleted files, but I can only recover 500kb for free. 1GB is $99. Anyone know of any other programs that can recover deleted files cheaper? Or know of a way I can restore my computer to 9am this morning before I did such a bonehead thing?

No, they are not in the recycle bin even though I never deleted them from there.
 
Depending what OS you're using, you might be able to use the MS-DOS command undelete.

From the command prompt, type in the syntax like below:

undelete c:\windows\system\*.* /all

This command would undelete all files that may have been deleted in the windows system directory.

Change the c:\windows\system\ to the directory that the files were in.

This works for MS-DOS 5.0 - 6.22

If you're using Windows XP, the OS has a system restore. Maybe you could restore to an earlier restore point, say sometime last month.

If you don't have a restore point set-up, I suggest getting a restore software even if you have to pay.
