You can try using the Windows shortcut for Undo, which is Ctrl-Z. If that doesn't work, then you will need a file restoration tool. My advice, though, is to make sure that you download it and are able to run it from a flash drive rather than the hard drive. The reason being that if you download it and/or install it/run it from the hard drive, you may overwrite the area where the recently-deleted file was stored, thus making it impossible to restore the file.

Now all this presumes that you have actually "deleted" the file rather than sent it to the Trash (aka recycle bin). If you want to see whether it is in the trash, just double-click the icon and see if you find the file there. If so, right-click on it and select Restore from the context menu that appears.

When you close a file what happens to the undo history list for that file?

When you close a file, the undo history list for that file is typically cleared or reset. This means that any changes made during the session are no longer available for undoing once the file is reopened. Depending on the application, some may offer the option to retain the undo history for future sessions, but generally, closing a file leads to the loss of that history.

How can I undo a complete memory wipe on an hp energy star?

If you mean that you have formatted the hard-drive... you cannot 'undo' it. Wiping the hard-drive erases the reference track from the drive. The reference track holds details of all the programs, pictures and personal data - to allow Windows to find each file as required.
