Re: Hard Deleted Outlook Email Recovery

[Tom Jedrzejewicz <tomjedrz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to shift-delete instead of delete out of habit, because I liked to
think I was smarter than the system and I would know what to regular delete
and what to hard delete. A similar happening disabused me of that notion.
 Hopefully it did this guy as well.

Good luck with the recovery utility .. I suspect it is hit or miss.  Better
to find a backup somewhere.  If you can't find one .. he is likely out of
luck.

BTW, if he gives you grief, or whines about the stupid program, point out
that he *deliberately* went around the multiple safeguards designed to
prevent such a happening. His bad, not Microsoft's. The buffoon who drives
around the flashing train barriers and gets hit has no business being mad at
the guy driving the train.

As an aside .. does anyone know if "shift-delete" in Outlook and/or Explorer
can be disabled via group policy or other means?
