| Logging into my computer today, there were a few changes compared to several days ago since my last log-in (3-4 days). - I logged into account USERNAME. - I noticed that my desktop was off, icons that were supposed to be there were missing and large icons were showing in the main menu (as if i had just installed WIN2000, which i didn't). - My appearance properties were changed to the default. - My wallpaper was not there, just the blue default WIN2000 colour background. So i decided to check up on my control panel > Users and Passwords. Everything seemed fine, and it "showed" that i was logged into USERNAME. I checked My Documents and realized that all of my files were gone, but being as smart as i was, i right clicked the properties for that folder and it showed up as: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME.NAME-DB9J0S6MMF\My Documents Meaning that i wasn't in the Document and Settings folder that i originally wanted to be in. So i checked in my Documents and Settings folder to find all of my files are still in the original folder: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME There are other folders in here: - Administrator - All Users - Guest - USERNAME - USERNAME.NAME-DB9J0S6MMF ![]() The folder USERNAME.NAME-DB9J0S6MMF was created today, meaning when i tried logging on, it logged me onto this folder. This username.name-DB9J0S6MMF DOES NOT show up in my Users and Passwords window. I cannot delete this folder also because it prompts me with "...is a windows system folder and is required for windows to run properly. It cannot be deleted." How do i revert my computer back to the original log in folder? and why does it say that i'm logging into USERNAME, when i'm actually logging into USERNAME.NAME-DB9J0S6MMF???? Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated! (: (panicking), Vivian Last edited by SweetVivian; 08-18-2008 at 09:04 AM.. |
