Files and Folders are missing from desktop

(1/2) > >>

Pokefreaker:
After performing the repair, all of my files, folders and notes in the desktop is missing. I can't find the files anywhere in my hard disk. Did the software  deleted all these files and software?

I also tried system restore but it got stuck for 8 hours. (seems like the problem I wanted to solve using this software is still there even after repairing it).

Boggin:
What is the problem that you wanted repairing ?

Any problems that appear to occur as a result of running the program, I refer to Shane via email.

Pokefreaker:
Thanks for replying my message.

I had problem with my microsoft visual C++ run time library error and the normal method the internet suggested was't working either, so I opt for tweaking.com (someone in the internet suggested me).

Though, after running the program, it did not solve my problem.

But the main issue why I post this topic is that after using the program, every folders, files, notes and songs I have in the desktop suddenly disappear, possibly deleted. Most of my program icon disappear as well, but it was only shortcuts so it's fine.

So my problem now, is there a way to retrieve my lost folders, files and notes?

I tried to load backup from the program but it only restore registry while my system restore was not responding (tried many times, even with older  save point) for 8 hours.

Boggin:
While rebuilding the icon cache should get your program ones back, I don't know if it will do anything for your files and folders you chose to store on there, but....

What was the error message you got for the C++ Runtime error ?

They normally relate to a program and a reinstall of it can resolve.

Pokefreaker:
The icon missing is fine since I could just find the original exe file from the installation folder and make another shortcut to the desktop.

I store my files and folders on the desktop for easy accessibility.

Thankfully nothing really important in those missing folders (just some old documents and reports when I was still a student few months ago)
but still, I hope if there is a way to restore it back because it is important to me personally.

I have tried reinstalling, update all Microsoft visual C++ versions, update directX and Net.Framework but none did worked. I suspect my system was corrupted and therefore tried running tweak.com to fix it. Which lead to the above issue.
