XP itself won't help you.
However, there are many file-reeovery programs that might be able to get
some of them back, depending on how much disk activity has happened since
you had the accident.
For some option, try this link:

One free program, which is pretty good, is PC Inspector File Recovery:

CAUTION: Try to avoid writing to the disk with the erased/over-written
files. The more you use that disk, the lower the chances of getting the
file back.
Note: What you call "bookmarks" in Internet Explorer is usually a large
number of individual files of type *.URL, not one big file. Firefox's
bookmarks are stored in one file of type *.HTML.
