Today I used the "Shred" files in recycle bin and as a result of this it has deleted all of the shortcuts and files on my desktop. The only files that it did not delete were ones that wer open and in use. It appears I have no way of getting this information back and this is a major issue.

Has anyone come across this and is it possible to restore the data?
