Default Icons/folder disappeared from desktop
And.....they're not in explorer under my username.
Why could this happen? I had a lot of stuff in ,y downloads file too. I searched for a know file name and couldn't find it.
I also tried system restore and that didn't seem to work.

The only thing that I did was install that new hotfix that was just released on windows update.....

WOW I hope that was a joke......the downloads folder that is located in the path
C:\docs and settings\my username\desktop\DLs had completely disappeared from my hard drive, or so it seemed.

I determined that it was in fact the new MS hotfix
Security Update for Windows XP (KB925902)
so if anyone has this issue then perform a system restore to before this time.
Weird.

This happened to me a week ago, I freaked out becasue it was a new installation however, I believed it was caused by a encoding program I installed.. cause when I uninstalled it and restart it fixed it. Can't think of the name.

Maybe it was a windows update and not the program, either way restarting fixed it for me...

No I fixed it with a simple restore before that hotfix. No way I'm reinstalling XP again! I just did a few weeks ago.


Oh yea I restarted twice to make sure that wasn't it.

Yea buddy! It can be quite problematic at times though. Just say no to Microsoft hating, except for their overpriced hardware!
