Someone told me that files deleted from a mapped network drive go into the recycle bin but i've never seen that before.
is this true and does it happen in windows 7?

No.

If the file server has VSS configured it can be recovered that way, or via a standard backup. If you want to see if VSS is taking snapshots, go to the properties for the folder which contained the deleted file, and check the previous versions tab.

Someone was confused and this is one of the biggest misfeatures of Windows I've ever seen because people expect it to work like that but it doesn't.
