Need Help with Vista Undelete Files

I accidentally deleted files from the Vista Home computer. There were about
5 folders in My Pictures, each folder containing several hundred pictures.
The files were too large for the Recycle Bin so it was bypassed permenantly
deleted. I realized this RIGHT AFTER I did it so I have not altered the
hard drive. I am thinking the files (.jpg) are still there but I need to
undelete them.

Suggestions on what I can do? Recommendations on 3rd party apps that
hopefully are not that expensive?

Thanks!

Developed by the same crew that does CCleaner. Recuva (Recover) is an
awesome program. It even saved some pics and files from a computer I was
working on that the customer had formatted and reinstalled Vista (of course,
not everything was recoverable).

One tip: Don't do much work or you risk the files being overwritten and not
recoverable

The best file recovery product is File Restore Professional. It is a
commercial product, but with it's price comes great results. You can
download it from here: www.pcrecovery.com
