oops. I deleted a script from within ms. Is there a way to recover it?

There's a small chance you can recoved the deleted file. Just like deleting any file in windows (you didn't mention which version of windows you were on), you can sometimes recover them with an undelete utility.

If you defrag your drive, or create/edit another file that saves over the position on your hard drive where the lost file was - it'll be gone.

Search on the web for file recovery software. I'm about to try this one: http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm.

Ok that program worked. Whatever program you use, if you install something, install it on a different drive than where the lost file is - then the chance it gets 'overwritten' is less.
