Windows provides restore item to the position from where it was deleted.

But I couldn't find any option to restore an item from trash.

Is it possible to restore an item from where it was moved to trashed?

This feature is in Snow Leopard, which is being released this Friday. It's not present in current versions of Mac OS X.

Wow. Damn. Mac OS 7 (well, "System 7" at the time) could do this. WTF. – derobert Aug 27 '09 at 5:30

yes, it's one of the things they missed from OS X 10.0 and have only just got around to reintroducing. – jrg Aug 27 '09 at 9:15
Before Snow Leopard: - click on the trash - move the deleted item to where you want – Laurent Etiemble Dec 10 '09 at 9:21

If you recently trashed it, you can undo the move under Edit, Undo. Not nearly as useful if you keep your trash full.

As SidneySM pointed out, this feature has just been added to Snow Leopard.

On all other versions, you will just have to drag-and-drop the file out of the trash and back to where you want it. The trash will not remember where the original location of the file.
