NTFS Recovery Wizard [free]

[MilesAhead]

As of post time 2 days 10 hours to download NTFS Recovery Wizard.

I am not familiar with this program.  It claims to fully automatically recover data files on any NTFS formatted partition.  I thought it might be worth trying for cases such as accidentally purging the recycle bin etc..

I am going to try installing it, then deleting some files from the recycle bin.  Let's see if it can get them back easily.  Hopefully if it messes things up RollbackRX will bail me out. 

Edit: Never mind.  The installer tries to put crap on your system and the "skip all" to bypass the crap seems not to work.  Looks like I will snapshot back to my baseline just in case.  I could not get the install to complete so to hell with it.

Unusual that you weren't able to opt-out of the spyware.  All of the install effort really does make this not worth the bother.

It was strange.  Click the final button to install and no reaction whatsoever.
