So I managed to delete 3 days worth of downloads :ohyeah: The recovery software is trying its best right now, lets see how much it can get back.

To prevent this in the future, can I disable "shift delete" on my download folder?

Don't think that's possible:( , one more reason to have a backup drive.
 
i had come across some 'get my data back' sorta software in past... will get back to u when i found it in my old cds :P

till then..try not to overwrite that drive :):P

Been using shift for over 10yrs now :P Don't want to go back to the stupid "empty recycle bin" thing :no:

Well that like a shell behaves.
Hotkeys are global to a shell, either you can have it or can't have.
Try some freewares to alter the Hotkeys in windows or get a new shell.
 
I dont think so.

Basic hotkeys cannot be disabled unless you stop pressing them :P

Besides, happened once with me too after remembering I deleted 1 file extra :lol:

Installed and started file scavenger the next minute and the file was easily recovered in 10 secs

If you disable the shift + delete, you will have to follow the empty recycle bin thing anyways :rofl: So make your choice
 
Remove the shift key from the keyboard and open recycle bin properties,click on the check box "Do not move files to recycle bin":D

This way you can avoid using shift key+frequently visiting recycle bin.

AFAIK,I don't think there is any app to disable it.

Try PC inspector to recover data,remember using it long back and did a pretty decent job on recovering deleted files.

no man ... not on purpose... downloaded in utorrent and after I got message download completed I immediately deleted the files in utorrent without checking that the files had actually got written to HDD. Seems utorrent has a few seconds lag of writing file to HDD after download is completed. :(

Try out DataRecovery - it is quite good for recovering deleted files if done before file gets overwitten.
