EVERYTHING IS GONEE?


Question Posted Friday October 12 2007, 5:37 pm

Okay so I came home and my brother was logged into the computer on his own account..Which is limited. And I logged onto mine which is also the Administrator. My desktop picture is gone..And everything is running normal..Like new. But everything is gone! Music, pictures, etc. EVERYTHING. My computer has been acting funny for a while and opened ad-disabled internet. So it all of a sudden fixed itself? What happened?! Can I get all of it back or anything?

That happened to my computer a few months ago. I went to a computer repair place and they got everything back in a couple days. Hope I helped a little.

Go to start, run and type this:

explorer "%systemdrive%documents and settings"

Go to tools, folder options. Then the view tab, and select "show hidden files and folders". Press ok and then press F5. If your account is there, you should be able to access all of your files through this. "Default user" is Administrator's folder. If your files aren't here, your account has been deleted.

You shouldn't use Administrator for anything other than system maintanence. It's files are reset sometimes.
