Recovering Things Deleted from Re-Cycle Bin

I am using MicroSoft Me. I was wondering if there is a way of recovering things that I already deleted from my re-cycle bin?? Can anybody help??

Let me be blunt.

After the delete from the Bin, the space will be used very soon as the user uses the machine.

If the person is SERIOUS about recovery, then the hard disk is pulled from service, software such as http://www.executive.com/undelete/undelete.asp is installed on another machine, THEN we add the drive to that other machine and undelete files.

Any other method may not work.
