SharePoint Recycle Bin 1.0


From Chris Johnson ...

Joel Oleson (Microsoft IT) has released SharePoint Recycle Bin 1.0.

This solution uses an ISAPI filter that sits in front of the WSS ISAPI filter. It watches for requests from users to delete documents. When it sees one, it grabs the document and copies it down to a file share first, then allows WSS to delete the document. This means that when someone rings the helpdesk with a deleted document issue the helpdesk can grab the document from the file share, and either send it to them or put it back in the WSS site for them!

Update: Joel's blog entry on this and other tools.

      Hey, interesting, I forwarded this link to the SPS admin's of my company. As I understand it, there's no file restore option at the moment, and this sounds like an interesting option.

      There are now so many custom solutions for the Recycle Bin issue out there but none that actually met our requirements. (Or involved to much coding anyway!)

    I've found a new solution for this problem which is free and just works:
