Re: User account

When you remove a user account from Control Panel > User Accounts, Windows asks whether you want to save the user's My Documents folder. If you answer 'yes' the My Documents folder is copied to the desktop. If you answer 'no' then the user's My Documents folder is permanently erased.

If your husband used a different method to remove your account, whether or not you can recover the My Documents folder depends on what he did.

All in all, another good reason to backup regularly.
