Ok this is REALLY weird.  I have a compaq presario 6000 and I had it networked to my mom's aspire labtop or w/e its called and the net work wouldn't work sayin that there was something stoppin the connection flow like admin rights. soo I unplugged them and restarted my computer because it had been on for awhile and when it came back on it had deleted all my desktop icons except SHORTCUTS to prince of persia and command and conquer generals and my recycle bin, my documents are all gone and back to how they originally appear when u get a new PC, and all my hardware and power settings and so forth are all turned back on to there defaults.  IDK if the ethernet connecting to my mom's computer had anything to do with this but I wanna know just incase I might have a virus or somethin to where it might have effected my mopm's computer too because her computer means ALOt more then mine.  I REALLY NEED help on this though just incase I can get those document back cuz I miss them lol because several of them were very improtant too.  Thanx for any help and PLEASE PLEASE respond to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Compaq Presario 6000 and I had it networked to an ACER Aspire laptop.

The network wouldn't work saying that there was something stopping the connection flow, such as the administration rights.

I unplugged them both and restarted my computer because it had been on for a while, and when it came back on it had deleted all my desktop icons except shortcuts to Prince of Persia, Command and Conquer  Generals, and my recycle bin.

My documents are all gone and back to how they originally appear when you get a new PC, and all my hardware and power settings and so forth are all back to their defaults.

I don't know if the ethernet connection to the other computer had anything to do with this, but I would like to know just in case I might have a virus which may have effected the Acer computer and because this computer means a lot more than mine.

I would like to ask for some help on this to see if I can get those documents back and because several of them are very important.

Thanks for any help.
