Not sure you can recover but there is a great lesson in your pain nonetheless.  Get in the habit of saving you image every time you make a change and then track that change in the save file.  For example, my process file includes images with names like M63_Red_DCrop_DBE_MLTNR_HT, for example, which helps in two ways.  First, you have everything but the last step saved.  Also, you have a ready place to go back to if you want to tweak noise reduction without having to start all over.

Hope that helps.

Jim
Really, are clear skies, low wind and no moon that much to ask for?

if PSM autosave was turned on, you might be able to recover any process icons you had dragged to the desktop. unfortunately i don't know where the PSM file gets saved on windows... and it might very well get "cleaned up" (deleted) by windows when the computer is rebooted.
