If you use a "wipe and delete" program to remove deleted files, can Windows XP be restored to a previous date (before the installation of the pragram)to retrieve those wiped files? For example, I have wiped my computer of old files. I would like to know if someone could restore my computer to an older date and view what I have "wiped"? Thanks again. P.S. If i am not posting to the correct forum please let me know! Thank you!

A restore to a previous point will not reinstall any securely deleted files or documents.
Although... A little know how and / or computer forensics might be able to retrieve securely deleted files. Secure deletion simply makes the process trickier.
