There is a question in there somewhere so here goes...if the files were made
by you, and you emptied the recycled bin wave bye-bye. To add files to a
network there are several ways...drag and drop them to your shared folders
file or rt click the folder you want to share, sharing tab, tic the sharing
and security tab, then OK. Now I'm not sure of the last part but you cannot
share programs and a bunch of other MS files. Good Luck

Perhaps you do not fully understand "My Network Places"..

--------------------------
My Network Places displays shortcuts to shared computers, printers, and
other resources on the network. The shortcuts are created automatically in
My Network Places whenever you open a shared network resource, such as a
printer or shared folder.

The My Network Places folder also contains hyperlinks to tasks and locations
on your computer. These links can help you view your network connections,
add shortcuts to network places, and view computers in your network domain
or in your workgroup.

Click the Add a network place task to start the Add Network Place Wizard.
This wizard helps you to create new shortcuts to shared folders and
resources on your network, Web, and FTP servers. If you don't have folders
on a Web server already, the Add Network Place Wizard will help you create a
new folder for storing your files online.

You can view, manage, move, copy, save, and rename the files and folders you
have stored on a Web server just as you would files and folders stored on
your computer. When you view the contents of a folder that is stored on the
Web, the folder's Internet address is displayed in the Address bar.

Notes

- To open My Network Places, click Start, and then click My Computer. Under
Other Places, click My Network Places.
- The View workgroup computers task is displayed in My Network Places when
your computer is in a workgroup and not in a domain. Double-click this icon
to narrow your search to only those computers, printers, and resources that
share a workgroup with your computer.
- If your computer is connected to a workgroup that has less than 32
computers, Windows will automatically create shortcuts in My Network Places
to the shared resources in your workgroup.
- To add a shortcut in My Network Places to a folder on a Web server, the
Web server must support network places. Network places requires the Web
Extender Client (WEC) protocol and FrontPage extensions, or the WebDAV
protocol and Internet Information Services (IIS). You must also have read
and write access to the Web server. If you are on a network, contact your
network administrator for information about available Web servers and how to
access them.
--------------------------

So, in short - "My Network Places" shows you "shortcuts" to network
accessible files/folders/printers/etc.
Did you erase the shortcut? Recreate it.
Did you erase the remote file/folder/printer/etc? Oops?
