I don't see any solution on your part. Are you imagining things again?

You do not get these problems with Ubuntu. Never had trouble with the
wallpaper, never had trouble playing vidoes and the spinning cube is a magic
cube that magic's away all your troubles and sorrows.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Ohhhh, I believe in yesterday.

Then run either restore or repair.

Can you boot into safe mode and run it from there?

If you're using Windows search, say "ext:tmp" (w/o thee quotes) instead of
*.tmp.

Somewhere in Windows is also a disk cleanup thingy, yes? I never bother, so
I lost my memory of it :-)

Here we go - my book gives this method (among others) to get there:
All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup
Do that and explore (carefully!).
