Undelete in Vista: Previous Versions

Vista has a function, called “Previous Versions”, which allows end-users to retrieve older versions of files as well as deleted versions. APC Magazine has an article about it and explains that Previous Versions is automatically switched on in Vista, but can be disabled via the System Protection tab on the System Properties control panel.

Like Neowin writes, undelete has always been possible unless a file has actually been overwritten with other data, but under Vista’s versioning file system, that will certainly not happen.
