I deleted a profile off my W2K machine but doing that deleted files from the documents folder. Any way of recovering these?

Not without using a data recovery tool like GetDataBack. If you are going to go down that road, it's best to stop using the hard drive that the files were on, and add it as a slave to another machine, and recover it to that machine's hard drive to avoid the original computer writing to the space that the files were on before you get a chance to recover them.
