"Also does FAT"
Version: Restoration 3.2.13
Pros
Not only restores. Also wipes.
Wipes ererything on a certain drive in 1 sigh.
Works on FAT as well as on NTFS (another program, DataRecovery, does well as well on NTFS but not so good on FAT)Cons
Little bit of strange interface (with the 'Others'-button for 'Delete Completely' and the completely different button for 'Restore by Copying').
As if delition/wipening was not wished for.
No HELP at all (details outfindable by TR&E)Summary
Mind you, in case of this program and others alike that Windows will probably run a CHKDSK after restart.
Don't worry about that. Let it run. If it says 'the computer will restart now' at the end, it probably won't. Just shut down the hard way then and after that everything should be fine With (hopefully and apparantly) Thoroughly Cleaned Drives. -
"Can't use it"
Version: Restoration 3.2.13
Pros
None, can't use it
Cons
Says I have to login as administrator even though I'm already. This is something the manufacturer needs to fix.
Summary
Can't get it to work due to programming flaw.
Still doesn't work when I choose run as administrator. Shuts down every time with unknown error.

"Logging In As Administrator"
Version: Restoration 3.2.13
Pros
Easy to use
No installationCons
There's no help menu (not that it's needed)
Can't be used unless by an administrator (going to elaborate a bit)Summary
For those that cannot use the product because it says you need to be an administrator, even when logged in as the administrator, just RIGHT CLICK THE PROGRAM AND CHOOSE "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR". I had trouble with that myself and thought others might have the same problem, so typying that up was pretty much the only reason why i made this account.
The program works great and it recovered the mp3s I lost when I deleted my music folder :D (Just an FYI, Shift+Delete = instant deletion without going to the Recycling Bin >.>)
The one downside is that the filename of some items might be a little messed up -

"A Life Saver. Amazing Program!!!"
Version: Restoration 3.2.13
Pros
Works 100%%%%
Restores files months old
Has search utility.
Works for all files.
Saved my lifeCons
I actually used the 2.5 version and there was nothing wrong with it, so version 3 must be even better.
Summary
When i deleted my 25 page paper from recycle bin i felt my heart drop. Seriously it was one of the scariest moments in my life. When i saw this on google i really didnt believe it, i thought it would be a virus or something but at the time i was willing to take the risk. When i downloaded it it showed the thousands of items i've deleted in the past months. And i used the search function to find mine. This saved my life.
Also very easy to use

"Perfectly restored some irreplaceable pictures."
Version: Restoration 3.2.13
Pros
It is easy to use and I am not extremely tech-savvy. For me, it was a miracle. I had accidentally deleted a large folder of pictures, including from my daughter's wedding. It quickly found them and restored them.
Cons
I didn't see a help file. It is pretty intuitive, but I wasn't sure what I was doing and a help file would have been, well, helpful.
Summary
I would highly recommend it. I used it immediately after realizing the pictures were gone and they were not in the recycle bin, so that probably helped. I have not tried it for files that were deleted earlier. Not a lot of bells and whistles which I wouldn't know how to use anyway. It will also restore files on a portable drive; I tried that just for kicks. Great little program
