Hello,
Not sure if this is the appropriate location, if not, I apologize in advance. Im turning to the community to look for some help.
Recently, I turned on my laptop this morning and upon logging into my profile, I noticed my background was gone, and pretty much all of my icons/notepad files/photos on my desktop were gone. When I click the leftover ones like skype for example, it tells me its trying to install, which is weird, as its been installed for quite some time.
I tried a system restore to last week, figuring that might work, because the computer was working fine last night before bed. It didnt work unfortunately, so I poked around some more.
When I actually punch in my C:\Users\Username\Desktop it shows everything that SHOULD be on my desktop, and I can access the items I have tried to click on through that.
Anyone got any ideas on what this could be? I havent downloaded anything recently, so Im not sure it could be a virus, unless its been laying dormant for a few weeks and just now popped up. Also, my C drive is pretty full, only about 6-7 Gigs left of space, so Im not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Any help would be appreciated, Id really hate to have to transfer everything to an external and reformat this thing.
