Default Excell and alll.xls files deleted -need to restore .xls

No you would need some aftermarket UNdelete software, Windows won't help
you there.

Any chance that the files are in the recycle bin? You could restore them from
there.

Any chance that you have a backup--maybe in your email's sent folder?

You may be able to pay for a program or service that can restore files that were
deleted.

If you think you want to do that, turn off the computer that was trashed. And
use another pc to search for data recovery (either programs or services).

The more you use that computer, the better chance that windows will use space
that's been marked available.
