Computer has "forgotten" who I am! Help!

Recently I logged in as usual, but when I went to My Documents, Outlook, etc.
it was as if I was using the computer for the first time - Outlook needed to
be configured, My Docs was empty, my iTunes library was gone, etc!

Fortunately, when I look under my ID / name in Documents and Settings, all
of my data is still there - the documents, songs, etc.

It appears as if there is some disconnect between my log in and where it
"looks" for my stuff. Could someone suggest a way to get this back to normal?
