I haven't tried it, but when I pick Undelete from the PC Tools Deluxe
menu, it asks if I want to undelete files or directories.  (This is a
nice utility in general.  The main program has all the features you'd
expect, and can run as a TSR if you want.  There's also a disk cache, and
a backup/restore set of programs.)
