First, try this: http://officerecovery.com/freeundelete/


Also know:
If the files were from the software you just installed, simply reinstall the software. If from windows and the deletion caused huge issues, just format>reinstall. If the files were content you created and can't recover from reinstalling something, I think you are out of luck. Undeleting is best done immediately and without unnecessary HDD access. Hope this helps some.
 
It will only be possible if you don't do _anything_ on that harddisk anymore. if it's the drive windows is installed on, do not boot from it again or you might accidentally overwrite the old data. Boot from a LiveCD or 2nd harddisk and recover the files

I'll second this. If the data is really important, do as klingens suggested.
