Guest Jim Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Hello, is there anybody out there!!! win98se OS I have a dilemma. I was setting up separate Profiles for the different Users in Passwords on this machine along with ICS in a study of NAT capabilities of a SS4100 modem. *_ I noticed that some of the Desktop folders for another user that were not the correct folder type as oem boot like on My Desktop, in particular the systems folders. So I went into Folder Options and clicked reset all folders...*_ This "little" move erased all the very important program files that were in a folder(s) or shortcut folder(s) that I had on My Desktop and all the other desktops. This is a disaster. Luckily, I can find some of these programs with Find File and Folders but the path is the same as the shortcut folder or the my New folders i.e. folders that I created that are now "empty". Also, My Docs seem unaffected by the reset. WTF did I do to deserve this bug? Any thoughts here would be helpful. *_ snow and black ice.
