Summary: Emergency Undelete DOES NOT WORK!
Review: Bookmstr's review is totally on the mark, except in my case it didn't find ANY files. Other programs at least saw all of my accidentally deleted files. This program showed me nothing. I even deleted a file and immediately tested it and it wouldn't find the file.

Review: It may be good protection once it is installed but if you are installing this in the hope of trying to restore files that you have deleted it doesn,t work. It comes with an emergency undelete capability that you are to use if you have not installed the product before you deleted files. This emergency undelete capabilty doesn't really work. I was able to find about 25 files that it said could be restored. I installed another product and it found over 300 and it provided the names of the files unlike Executive Software which gives you a cryptic name. I would compare using this to providing someone who is drowning with an anchor.

Summary: Excellent Utility
Review: Undelete takes over from the standard Windows recycle bin in that it also saves deleted files from the command line and from applications. For instance, if you delete a file from your c:\ prompt it will be saved. If you edit a file and save it, the old copy will be saved. When applications start, stop or are updated with patches that change files, the old ones are saved, etc.

There is also the added feature of a very powerful exclusion list capability so that you can avoid processing certain files or directories down to an individual file name.

This is a tremendously useful utility and can pay itself back in saving one file alone.

I have been using Undelete from version 1 and now have version 2. It has been very stable on both NT and now 2000 with no performance hit at all.

I highly recommend this product.
