I deleted a registry file without backing up. It froze my computer. I tried to re-boot, but I can only get to the blue screen. I have tried all the F8 options to no avail. Short of re-installing XP is there a way I can restore the contents of my recycle bin in the dos mode to save all my files?

Just out of curiousity, what file did you delete?

CLSID which had some spy-ware in it

Option 1 is quicker

I tried safe mode with command prompts, but still stops at the blue screen with no command prompts. It seems that is all I can do. I have been able to access the recycle bin (I think) in dos. C:> cd recycled <enter>dir<enter>. at that point I get:
