The program is called RESTORATION and it can be successfully used to recover files deleted with Shift key pressed. It doesn't work for files purged from recycle bin.
This is what I use if I delete something by accident.

Undelete after being removed from the Recycled folder? Didn't know stuff existed for that. I may have something on my Dos VM, but will it work with non-fat formatting? Pm me if you want it.

Actually - it's overwritten. So I'm not sure if the data has written over the old - or if the old file was deleted and new file created.
argh! crud!

Most modern programs have a backup file somewhere. You could find out if yours has one then look for it.
-
At least for recovering files purged from the Recycle bin, I use "File Scavenger". Overwritten data seems a little bit hopeless, however, unless your software makes periodic backups, as Honoluludesktop pointed out.

It was one of my scripts I had been working with. They're written with Notepad++ - no recovery files.
I had synced the plugin folder with Live Mesh - but as some point I must have synced back an older version... gaargh! -
I can recommend recuva (analyses the disc for deleted files and shows if/how much was overwritten).
Some operating systems make shadow copies, that means "save" does not overwrite the original file, but creates a new and the older version is thrown out of the index. If you have for example vista, right click on the file and go to file properties.

Can you synch a text editor with Google Docs? It keeps track of all changes.

I have software to make backup - but with the last reinstall of the OS I forgot to set up the plugins folder... x_X

Hi Thomas, Whenever I open source code, I immediately "save as" namexx.ext, where xx is a incremented number. Every so often I clean up the folder. Saved my butt countless times.
Well, I try to do it at least once at at the start of every programming session:-)

If its important dont use the computer you had the plugin on, otherwise you risk overwriting it. Once youv done that,have a look at this: http://lifehacker.com/393084/how-to-recover-deleted-files-with-free-software

The file was on my laptop. I can't get to the HD...
Bugrit, millennium hand an' shrimp!
Seems that I have to rewrite it all again.
-
Just had a final look through using an app called Disk Investigator that allowed me raw access to all the clusters on the HD. Did a scan for text I knew was present, but I wasn't able to find the version I was looking for. At least not intact. Whatever wasn't an old version turned out to be a scrambled mess. Think the overwrite happened a couple of days ago - so there'd been quite a bit of disk activity.
I was hoping for an release of Selection Toys v2.0 this weekend - not any more.
Buggerit!
