Its gone for good

And you can be sure unless there is a bug in your win 9x

When you empty your thrash can the files are deleted from the disk, but you can't be 100% sure that they can't be undeleted by some thirdparty product, say Norton Utilities.

Norton also makes products that will overwrite your deleted files with zeros for complete safety.

There are probably shareware/freeware programs that do the same, try looking in www.shareware.com for 'file erase'

Normally when you delete something /empty the thrash can the files is renamed with a ? as first character and then you can't see the file but some programs can restore them.

Thanks...
