It is called S-1-5-21-3391303531-2177660944-2853904521-1000 and the date provided to the left of it is 8/9/10. Should this be a list of things currently in my recycle bin? When I did a dir on the folder S-1-5... it came back with a bunch of .exe (as well as a few random .docx and .tar etc.) but there are no actual names just $ followed by a bunch of numbers.

Thanks, but that didn't seem to work. I still was not able to recover the file. Is there any other way?

I was helping you find the user that matched that SID, not finding the file. If you've got the file on disk in the $recycler folder under a SID, it's in that user's recycle bin (or was, and hasn't been deleted yet from disk). If logging on as that user doesn't show the file in the recycle bin to be restored, then the next safest way to get at it is to boot from a bootable environment on a DVD or USB key (like WinPE or a rescue CD) and copy the file off to a remote location, like an external hard disk drive. I generally work on the teach a man to fish model, for what it's worth .

Also, I must ask that you please do not quote a large block of text in a reply if you're not going to specifically comment on it's contents - a simple reply would have sufficed. I've edited your previous post to remove the code you quoted to minimize the wasted space in the thread, as well as to be kind to those folks who visit here who are on slow internet connections.
