Hi Firewall! Just a small remark
I think here the problem was the files were deleted from recycle bin also (other way it is too easy to restore it from recycle bin and every user of Microsoft OS products knows about it I guess
).
In the described situation Robbythesub used 'System restore point creation' - win. option, that runs automatically when any changes to your program files and register are applied (installing new application, etc.). Also this option can be scheduled by user manually. So using this option he restored the previous system state and thus reached the goal. Robbythesub was lucky this option played the trick (because sometimes it doesn't) and he didn't run any cleaning utilities such as CCleaner or ERASER after missing the files.
As for me I often use both to delete all traces of applications that were previously uninstall, the last one (ERASER) is overwriting/formatting the whole free disk space (where the fragments of the deleted files are still remaining), so there's no any tools exist yet to recover or restore them.
EDIT: O-ouh! I'd better change my nickname to 'Hand-brake29' (Anchor29 as variant)! the whole discussion passed through while I've being writing this post)))
