file restord from recycle bin

How can I find a file I restored from the recycle bin? I didn't watch which
location it was restoring to and I don't remember the file name.

Do you remember the name of the file? Do a search for it.

The file is being restored to the same place (folder) from where you
deleted it.

Quoting from the OP: "I don't remember the file name".

OP, you need to remember the file name or something about it that you can
search for. Even part of the name might work, or the file-name extension
could help. Or open the program you last opened it in and see if it's in
the list of recent files opened. Or go to the start menu - recent files.
Use your imagination or forget about the file.

Here's another alternative: go into a meditative state, or take a break and
don't think about it, and see if it pops into your head.

WTF?!?!? My spoofer has ruined my reading abilities. I guess I could've
asked if he remembered *any* part of the name.

You are causing me to say to self "duh!".

Well, if that's part of what he can't remember (as I seem to have assumed),
then maybe my post will be helpful to him after all.

The really stupid thing about the recycle bin is that you can't restore to a
directory of your own choosing.

But you can cut and paste a file from the Recycle Bin.

or drag the file from the Recycle bin to where ever you want...

The really *smart* thing about the recycle bin is that it restores the file
to where it came from.

On the Mac under OS X, you can't restore a file to where it came from
unless you happen to *know* where it came from. Or unless there's a secret
that I never discovered...
