Answer 1

Drag it onto your desktop...but other than that an expert can only do it!

Answer 2

you can "undelete" those files if it's not longer ago.  however, I would suggest you reinstall them, you should have those program either on CD or on the internet that you can download.

Answer 3

I have this program and it works well.  I haven't really deleted programs, but I know it'll pick up things like files and pictures that have been erased. Free download.

edit.... P.S. this was actually recommended in the local newspaper column.  Just in case you find others that are just crappy freeware that does more harm than good.  Good luck.
