I need HELP! I was moving some files around and sign into my other computer as my normal user name, however a error message came up saying that my personalized settings could not be loaded. I didnt think much of it because things seemed to work normally.

However, I moved some documents onto that desktop and when I logged off and logged back on there are now gone as is that temp user name which I didnt really pay attention to.

Is there any way to recover those documents? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looked in c:\Document And Settings\someusername\Desktop The username will probably be something like your normalusername.machine name vs just normalusername

You can just cut/paste the documents from there.

Thanks. I can see that user name, but the documents I copied over are gone from that profile. Any ideas?
