If you turn off the computer don't boot it from the hard drive again

the files are/were depending where, physically on the disk they were.
If the files were on a different partition than Windows and temp files
and stuff are, you still have to watch yourself carefully.

I'm at a loss after that point. There are recovery programs on the net
somewhere, hopefully somebody else can field that.

If they're *that* important contact a data-recovery firm.

The above Google search URL renders a myriad of freeware undelete apps. As
Rick mentioned......DO NOT use the computer in question for the search or
download of your choice of apps and find one that will work from a bootable
floppy or CD, otherwise, you run an excellent chance of overwriting your
info.
