In case of windows 7 rightclick the folder containing your map files and check if there are any previous copies available on the Previous Versions tab.
If not then I guess you're out of luck. I use Previous Versions and a robocopy script to sync with Dropbox (which also supports versioning) on two different computers. Losing stuff sucks!
