I wasn't entirely paying attention to what I was doing and I was using the disk cleanup utility to clean up some stuff... where you have the more options for removing the Windows utilities that you don't use... I think I deleted the stuff I use (ie: IE 7.0 and all it's settings and saved stuff) and saved the stuff I don't use. How did I know? I looked at the desktop... stuff was gone.

Is there a restore or a way to get it back or just SOL? Yes, I may deserved being laughed at tonight... help please!

Well I know that... I was just wondering if I could get back what I had. I actually just clicked a link though in AIM and it launched IE 7 and it still had all my RSS feeds saved, etc.... so I guess we'll see what happens after I re-boot?

So you deleted your desktop icons.

If you don't see what you lost there, post here again.
