Hi everyone 
Been a while since i have posted a topic.
I was just randomly thinking about Microsoft and the way they do things.
When a file is deleted and the recycle bin is emptied, can the file still be retrieved, i mean the file cant be deleted, i mean what does it mean when you delete a file?
Can the files be retrieved?
Thanks in advance.

In general when you delete a file the OS just marks the beginning and end of the file as over writable, meaning if you just delete a file, the data is still there, its just ready to be overwritten with data of a new file. In windows, when deleting a file to the recycle bin, and then emptying the recycle bin then recovery is very easy as there is still a pointer to where the file was located (ie which sector) therefore a variety of recovery programs can be used to recover the file.
Google for free file recovery if you need such programs.

Example of a program for data recovery is Badcopy Pro. However, i have used System Mechanics 4.0 to incinerate data and when i initiate the Badcopy Pro, the data cant be retrieved from the harddisk. So, there is a way to get rid of the data permanently, i believe.

Yes, of course data can be deleted in a way to make in non-recoverable, usually you just overwrite the data of the file with random data a few times. And then delete the file, and maybe even the pointer.
SafeGuard PrivateCrypto is a free for home use program which can shredd files for you.

Yes, only if something has been written over it's old space on the drive.

Hi,
I have an MSI that installs a bunch of files. However, on uninstall, I would also like to remove another file that's not part of the original install, say, c:\document and setting\all users\folder1\test.txt (put here by another program altogether). Is there a way to do this? I tried everything including <customaction> and <removefile>, but nothing work. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

You can remove a file or folder that isn't part of a component as part of uninstall using the RemoveFile table. See the SDK documentation.

If you want to hack it (programically), verify you have SeDebugPriviledge. You can then adjust you token (or results from Lsa... functions) to mimic a local administrator. That is, always return TRUE for an access check.
Otherwise, speak to your Sys Admin. Domain Controllers get a different GPO than workstations.

Microsoft Office 2007 SP1 will be available for download Dec 11. The improvements in Office System 2007 SP1 are in response to direct feedback from power users at large organizations or indirect feedback from home and Office users through the Dr. Watson bug-reporting system.
It will eliminate many deployment barriers. It will provide support for Windows Server 2008 and will provide critical fixes.
Office System 2007 SP1 will not be released to automatic update (AU) immediately. Instead, the Microsoft Office System team will announce the date automatic updating will begin so IT departments will have time to learn about SP1 and determine the best method to deploy it.
For more information, see the Microsoft Office [^] download site.
For more information for developers, see US ISV blog[^].

I extended a couple monitors by keeping the resolution the same, but changing the refresh rate. For example, if 70 Hz is giving you problems, try 72, and 85.

Sounds like the focus of the electron beams is off. This can happen as components age. Either get the monitor serviced or replace it.

Replace the monitor with a new one. If the images are still blurred, see an ophthalmologist.

Whenever I delete any file or folder, I always chose the route of making it find a place in 'Recycle Bin' and then 'Empty'. I feel this is better than 'Shift + DELete' since you get the following advantages of an inadvertant deletion:
1) Recovery of mistakenly deleted files
2) Quarantining mistakenly deleted files into a different location.
But when you delete from Network Drive or Command Prompt, the deletion does not go to RecycleBin. I was just wondering if there is any setting (Registry Tweak) or any helper tool or application that would help in getting those deletions also into Recycle Bin first.

No, there isn't. It's not possible to do this since the network is not a continuos connection. The network supports it's own "RecycleBin" on the servers, such as under Novell NetWare, you would use the Salvage utility.
The RecycleBin only works on local volumes. A network drive is a remote, removable volume.
