    Is there a way to undelete a file in windows vista "after" you have emptied the recycle bin? I sure hope so!

    If there is can you please explain to me how so I can do it?

    Try a file recovery program like recuva.

    Yes, i also recommend that. It's the best at what it does, and it's very easy to use.

    Also, if you have Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate you can use Vista's Shadow Copy feature to restore the file.

    Just right click on the parent folder of the file and hit "Restore Previous Versions".
