Source Control Explorer Accidental deletion and file recovery

Sometimes, you do stupid things. But VSS is definitely more forgiving than real life and totally and completely saved me hours of rework.

1) Tried to copy files in Visual Studio 2010.
2) It moved the aspx file but not cs file
3) Deleted the original files

So, now I had a aspx file sitting around without a cs file... And I cried...

But then I tried this...

1) Shut down all VSS clients / VS IDEs.
2) Open Visual SourceSafe Explorer and login into VSS database.
3) Undo all the checkouts of any projects or the solution.
4) If the projects were modified by a check-in, roll it back.
5) Go to the parent folders, show properties, and undelete any accidentally deleted files.
6) Do a GET with VSS and make sure the project file as well as the "project's files" are correct in your working folder.
7) Shut down VSS explorer.
8) Try an Open of the project with Visual Studio.

And it worked... YES it totally did....
