In a shared environment such as a terminal server that has potential for nastiness. Hm, intersting. Looks like I need to test this. I deleted it when MarkM's answer sounded the most canonically reasonable, but it sounds like it doesn't work for all users after KyleBrandt tested it. I'm thinking there isn't a documented way to do it properly due to security, most likely Deleted my answer, that is.

You can right-click on a file or folder and delete it to the recycle bin or permanently, you can also right-click and open an Explorer window there or a Command Prompt. It also has no qualms about showing you all of the users Recycle Bins, though you have to look up the SIDs and match them up to each user yourself.

Jonathan Medd explains Since Active Directory was included as part of Window Server , administrators have often asked for a simple way to roll back mistakes, whether that is the incorrect deletion of the wrong user account to the accidental removal of thousands of objects by deleting an OU.
Before the release of Windows Server R2 there were a number of ways using built-in or third-party methods to restore Active Directory objects, but typically they were not as quick or complete as say retrieving a deleted email or file.
Microsoft has included with their release of Windows Server R2 the facility, under the correct conditions, to enable a Recycle Bin for Active Directory and allow simple restoration of objects which have been erroneously removed. In this article we will briefly cover some of the options prior to R2 and then examine how to enable the new Recycle Bin and restore objects from it. The R2 Recycle Bin for Active Directory is a great motivating point for upgrading your forest and domain s to the latest version, but this is not always a quick process in many enterprises so it is worth knowing what options are available prior to this version.
Retrieving Active Directory objects typically falls into two available categories, authoritative restore from a backup or tombstone reanimation. Typically, you would use a global catalog so that you can also restore all group membership information. Obviously regular system state backups of Active Directory are critical for your full disaster recovery procedures, but taking advantage of tombstone reanimation means you can get objects back quicker than having to go through the full authoritative restore process.
You could use the procedure in the article which utilises the ldp. The free ADRestore. Note: this has been deprecacated in favour of a commercial version with more features, Recovery Manager for Active Directory. As of version 1. These results could then be piped through to the new cmdlet Restore-QADDeletedObject to undelete the object represented by the tombstone. Whilst this is obviously preferable to re-creating an account from scratch it does not make for a quick overall process.
The original release of Windows Server introduced snapshot backups for Active Directory. It is then possible to mount this snapshot using different ports on the same domain controller as the live Active Directory database and use standard tools to compare the two. This could really make the tombstone reanimation a lot simpler because after restoring the object you could view two versions of Active Directory Users and Computers side by side and view the properties of the restored object from a previous time, so making it simpler to repopulate properties.
The Directory Service Comparison Tool takes advantage of these snapshots and makes the repopulation process more streamlined.
For organizations looking for a more automated, repeatable and risk adverse method for restoration of both AD and GPO objects, or those companies also requiring advanced "undo" capabilities, a third party solution such as the BeyondTrust PowerBroker Auditor offers unparalleled benefits that include the following.

Raising functional levels may affect some applications that integrate with Active Directory, therefore it is important to research possible issues before raising the levels.
Microsoft gives us an example of how this command would look when it is used to enable the Recycle Bin for the Contoso.
