No, it's my home computer. What will F12 do? If I restore it, can I just
say restore to 1 week ago? Do you think this will make my old programs,
files, etc. show up?

I don't really know what I did wrong. I shut down the computer, turned off
the power button on the surge protector, went on vacation, came back,
turned
on the computer, and it was different.

Things like this don't just 'happen'.. did you use F12 to restore your
system?.. you must have done something, instituted a procedure, logged on
to
a different account..

We need to know more..

I turned on my computer and the screen looks the same but it looks
the
way
it
does when you first buy a computer. All of the programs I installed
are
gone, I can't find my music, or other files I created. There is
only 1
user
account on the computer. I don't know how to get everything back.
Thanks
for the help in advance.

I would try a System Restore to go back a few days.
