Restoring deleted files

Hi all,

Is there any windows API that helps in restoring deleted files?

calling a shell command to 'undelete' them ? other than that I didnt find anything but a callback function for notification when a fiel was being undeleted - UndeleteFile

I would start with the function
SHGetKnownFolderIDList (FOLDERID_RecycleBinFolder ...)
And see want can I do with the contents of the folder...

Can anybody provide me with some examples of using:

1. SHGetKnownFolderIDList
2. UnDeleteFile

I have read the documentation and I think for any newbie in win-programming it will not be enough.

I just threw this together, nothing fancy, and not tested...

Code:

// Stuff...
#define Report(x) MessageBox(NULL,x,"Report:",MB_ICONINFORMATION|MB_OK)
char szPath[260];
strcpy(szPath, "C:\\test.txt");
// Delete file...
if(0 != DeleteFile(szPath))
Report("File deleted.");
else
Report("Deletation of file failed.");
// Restore file...
if(IDOK == UndeleteFile(szPath))
Report("File undeleted.");
else
Report("Restoration of file failed.");

uh... did you even look at the posts above/MSDN?
As Abach said, it is a callback function for the File Manager and has two arguments (none of which are "szPath" or anything even remotely close to what you suggested above).
