System Restore will not restore the deleted files. Here is a breakdown of what it will and will not restore:

The following are restored when you use System Restore to restore your system to a previous time using a restore point:
bullet Registry
bullet Profiles (local only—roaming user profiles not impacted by restore)
bullet COM+ DB
bullet WFP.dll cache
bullet WMI DB
bullet IIS Metabase
bullet Files type which are monitored by System Restore as specified in the SDK available from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...extensions.asp.

The following are not restored by System Restore:
bullet DRM settings
bullet Passwords in the SAM hive.
bullet WPA settings (Windows authentication information is not restored)
bullet Specific directories/files listed in the Monitored File Extensions list in the System Restore section of the Platform SDK e.g. 'My Documents' folder.
bullet Any file types not monitored by System Restore like personal data files e.g. .doc, .jpg, .txt etc.
bullet Items listed in both Filesnottobackup and KeysnottoRestore (hklm->system->controlset001->control->backuprestore->filesnottobackup and keysnottorestore) in the registry.
bullet User-created data stored in the user profile
bullet Contents of redirected folders

I still think that your best bet is to look into a third party program to restore the files.
