[Ham-Computers] RE: YouTube File Saving Utility.

Kurt,

I wasn't following this thread so I don't know why you or someone else wanted 
to recover a .TMP file but Windows XP, like 2000, does have undelete 
capability, but it isn't called that.  And many programs that create temporary files 
don't clean up there mess, which you will find in the designated temporary 
directory (oops, showing my age - folder).  But files deleted by a Windows program 
that does clean up its mess should go into the Recycle Bin, which is folder 
almost like any other.  It can be seen by Windows Explorer including its 
contents.  If you delete a file and late decide you shouldn't have, if you can find 
it in the Recycle Bin, highlite it, right click, and it will be restored to 
its original location.  Usually.  There are several caveats.
