Sorry no edit button. The Restoration thing you said worked great Mike except the fact that you have to do it one by one and can't select a bunch at once.
I have been in your situation before, albeit with important company documents that I shouldn't have deleted. Can't remember the name of the software that I used to get it back but I think we paid about £30 for it.
Your pretty much safe if you shut down the computer immediately to prevent overwriting the deleted sectors on the disk, find a raw disk reader and use that. Obviously problems occur when you have written data to the disk since the unintended delete but it's usually correctable
