Yeah, if you have a backup of his files before he deleted them. You might also check to see if they went into his "recycle bin" on windows, and check his home directory to see if he has a trash folder somewhere, maybe in ~/.trash ~/.gnome (or whatever wm he's using/.trash, or ~/.dt/.trash.
You may try doing a "find" for the file on the linux box. But if it didn't go into a trash folder or recycle bin the best bet is that it's gone. I don't think there's a "recovery" program for linux, but I've never needed one so there may be. Anyone else know? B-( d3funct

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
