Windows Vista/7 Problem. Desktop Files Disappear?
The files on my desktop disappeared.
Found the files in: C: -> Users -> My name -> Desktop
Dragged the files back to the desktop
Then restarted the computer
Turned it on. Can't be found anywhere now. It's no longer on desktop. It wasn't deleted.
Anyone experienced this problem? Who can provide a solution?

Have you checked any desktop settings, such as right-clicking the desktop > View > Show Desktop Icons?Usus magister est optimus -

and
The files (word documents/folder) I dragged to the desktop earlier are no longer there.
But, other program shortcuts are there.
I clicked on the start button to type the file name. It says cant access shortcut or something.When you say the files can't be found anywhere, does that include the Users\My Name\Desktop folder or are you just referring to the Desktop screen?
