OH NO!!!! I accidentally deleted a file by cut + pasting :(
I just went into an application I was working on... then I selected a folder, then I cut it and then went to paste that folder into another directory and it said "the source file does not exist". So I go back and sure enough, the file I cut is not there... nor is it in my clipboard apparently. What in the world could have happened to it?? Is there any chance of retrieving it?

Windows Explorer is the interface you work on right from Desktop to each file dialog etc... so wherever you do cut or copy or rename or move... all is reversible from any location... and Cut *does not*
- remove the file from its current location
- place it into clipboard (just the link)
until you paste it somewhere... and a cut can be canceled simply by Esc.. that's what this key is for on keyboard isn't it?
Only bug I've found is while moving file around in a network...
I've lost files like that.. but while working in Macromedia products...
Open a file from Network and next time you save it.. its corrupted and you can't save the open file *anywhere*... its foobared...
