My Documents folder except for folder items and missing
contents of my pictures folder....

Any hELP please
================================
It's a possibility that something has damaged/corrupted your User Accounts. Did you try a full system search to see
if the files could be located?


I would suggest a full system virus scan using the most recent definitions. Also...
the following programs can be useful in
maintaining a clean system:


AdAware, Spybot, MS AntiSpyware, A-Squared, CCleaner.

Maybe the entries in your Event Viewer would
give you some idea what happened.
