Do not write ANYTHING to the drive you've lost the folder from.

Download and install GetDataback. Install it to a different partition to where the folder is missing from if you can...or even a USB memory stick

This software should do the trick.

System restore only corrects registy changes. As Andrew says...this wont help you in this situation one but.

if your on vista it does shadow copies. Right click the folder that used to contain the subfolder you have removed and go to properties. From here there should be a "previous version" tab, this should list all snapshots of that folder, pick an older date and click on view or open (cant remember) the sub folder you removed should be in there on one of the previous dates.
