Hard drive recovery

My co-workers can't seem to resist clicking on fake virus scan pop-ups. The latest one wiped things so bad that "program files" shows as empty and the C: drive pops up blank. (running XP- pro)
I'm stumped, because XP starts and the IP address is still recognized by VNC viewer. I suspect that the registry was blown up... and no, no backup.
Any ideas? I'd like to avoid format/reload.
Thanks.
