Yes, all you need to go is go into your System Tools, and click on System Restore -- and it'll all come back.

On top of what theymos said, you can always restore your computer to a previous time and undo the deletion.

Yes, easily. If you want to recover something you deleted, you have about two weeks to do so before you have to hire a professional. Use this tool:

Select "shred free disk space". Change passes to "simple 1" or "simple 2". After it's done running, everything you've deleted so far is unrecoverable. Everything you delete in the future will still be recoverable.
When you put something in the recycle bin, you're simply moving it, it still takes up the same amount of space. When you empty the recycle bin, your computer says "the space this file is occupying is now free, if any program wants to overwrite it, go ahead", but the data from the file still remains. If any program does overwrite it(usually after about two weeks), the portion that was overwritten is unrecoverable. Professionals can recover parts that weren't overwritten, but that's expensive.
**Matt reminds me that System Restore will recover certain files(executables, mostly), even if you use file shredder. It usually won't restore music, movies, or text documents. To delete restores(do this before you shred), go to start, then run. Type:
sysdm.cpl
and press ok. Go to "advanced", then "system restore". Press "settings". Check the box that says "turn off system restore", and then press ok on all windows. All restores are now deleted. I recommend you turn restores back on and set a manual restore point after you shred free disk space.
Don't count on system restore, it's extremely unpredictable. Sometimes it will even delete your files. Use it only as a last resort.
