You can't..

When your configuration is downloaded it is serialised into code that the firmware on the Beo5 runs.

You cannot reverse the process

Daniel,

Assuming you stopped using your computer immediately after you deleted the file, then it is possible to undelete files provided they have not been overwritten by another file.

The reason is that under Windows, well DOS actually when a file is deleted, the FAT (File Allocation Table) just marks the area as available and the first character of the filename is changed to a ?

There are lots of Windows Undelete programmes which basically just search the disk for files that are not seem by the operating system, but teh first character of teh filename is ?
