Deleted items recovery?

Hi guys & gals, I accidentally deleted a folder from my outlook and then emptied the deleted items. The notes say i need to click the deleted items folder and then tools>Recover Deleted Items BUT I have No menu item for that! i've updated to the latest version of outlook 2003 (11.8010.8107) SP2 but i still don't have the menu item i need!

does anyone know what to do or how to get back my folder? (i'm NOT on an exchange server)

thanks,

Hard Deleted items will not appear in the Recover Deleted Items...

By default, the Recover Deleted Items functionality is only enabled on the Deleted Items folder in a user's private folders; items that are hard deleted cannot be recovered. To enable the Recover Deleted Items functionality on mail folders other than Deleted Items (for example, for Sent Items, Drafts, Outbox and Inbox folders), you must make the following changes to the registry:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: DumpsterAlwaysOn
Data type: DWORD
Value data: 1
4. Quit Registry Editor.
You can use an administrator's computer or a user's computer to make this change to the registry. After you change the registry, start Outlook, and then click Deleted Item Recovery on the Tools menu. A list of items that have been hard deleted during the retention time set on the server is displayed.

As for DataNumen, Inc. I would hope that HardwareForums.com regulars are smart enough not to buy from shady companies like yours, who spam the internet and generally make asses of yourselves. I'm also dropping all mail from your domain, since you were stupid enough to use the company domain you're astroturfing for in the email address you've registered with.

Have a great life,
