By mistake deleted an XLS file from my desktop using shift+delete.
Unfortunately Windows Backup was not set up on the computer.

Can anyone advice on how to recover this very important file?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I tried on a sample unimportant file and shift+delete
really deletes the file and bypasses the safety net of the trashcan.
Meaning.... unless you have a copy somewhere you are most likely out of
luck and will have to reproduce the information.
I'm guessing you also clicked YES when windows asked you if you really
wanted to remove the file as well.

Good Luck,
James

Google for 'windows deleted file recovery'.

Those really don't work unless you run them immediately upon deletion.
The act of installing or creating new files runs the risk of overwriting
the information... if it hasn't already.

Still, it's worth a shot.
