I'm using win 8.1 x64. Yesterday evening everything was working fine, but when I turned on my pc today the folder which was on my desktop is missing. I've tried show hidden files and folders and it isn't hidden, and I've also tried Stellar Phoenix and R-studio and it wasn't deleted. I've no idea what to do, any help please?

Open windows explorer and browse through all the folders that are connected within one level of the desktop. Perhaps it was accidentally moved to one of them. If you have other desktop folders look through them to make sure it isn't in one of them.
More likely, check to see that for no reason are you accidentally logged into a different user account. Sometimes, rarely, users have booted into their windows system to discover that a new user account or administrator account was created after a windows automatic update and now the account they are logging into does not show that folder because it's only on the desktop of the other account. Go into control panel> user accounts and see if there is more than one account. If there is log into the other account and see if the missing folder is present.
