Re: Help - lost all of my Desktop files!

I tried a SYSTEM RESTORE to earlier point today BUT the missing
desktop .doc's are not still there. The shortcut's came back, but
the .jpgs and .doc's DID NOT.

I went into CCcleaner and found some temp files called a doc.LNK file
in my temp folder, but I am not sure how to locate THIS FILE because
it doesn't come up with windows explorer (yes, I have the explorer
option to show system files turned on.)

I don't want to start up WORD in case in writes over the last temp
files. The last .doc I used was today in Word. Is there a place
where it would keep a backup of the file?
My last backup of the drive was about 1 week ago and I have been
writing this report (doc) since then, I don't want to lose 7 days
worth of work if I can help it.

and so forth that resided on my desktop are gone!!! The folders are
there, but the loose files are not! What the heck happened? I did a
search for them, but nothing is coming up! What should I do? Where
could they go to?
