[Recovering non standard type files?]

I accidentally formatted one of my hard drives and I have been advised to try to use Recuva to see if it can rescue some of the files from that drive. My question is, does Recuva recover files which have been created by another program and are not the usual jpeg, video files etc..? and will Recuva also recover exe files?

Thank you for your suggestion. I am running Windows 7 and I cannot find the option to locate the Indexing Options through the Control Panel. Please could someone advise the procedure using Windows 7?
