Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell at www.sysinternals.com have released freeware utility Fundelete that replaces the Recycle Bin to add protection for GUI and commandline deletes. Useful to Windows NT admin.

... any files you delete from within programs or the command prompt , which are not being filtered from protection, will be moved to the Recycle Bin. Simply use the Fundelete Bin as you would for files deleted from Explorer to recover deleted files.
The source code to undelete.c, is available and demonstrates several techniques that are useful for device driver writers not documented anywhere else.
