The listing of files there "respects" the overall access control settings at the time of deletion, including restrictions on containing folders even when the file itself had no specific restrictions. </FONT><FONT size=2>The opportunity to restore a restricted-access file is never presented to those who did not have the right to open it in the first place, even if the file's owner and room coordinators can still see it sitting in the Recycle Bin.</FONT></P></p><h3>Alternate Questions/Keywords</h3><p></p><br><br><br><br><a target='_new' href='http://www.parature.com' style='font-family:Verdana;font-size:10px;color:999999;'>Help Desk and Customer Support Software by Parature</a>]]>
