desktop missing but computer functions

[cavado]

so basicaly I was doing my everyday computer tasks like watching youtube you know nothing out of the ordinary. So anyway I logged off my profile when I returned about an hour later I logged on and the only thing that happened was my documents popped up and my Desktop had completly vanished. So I figured what ever I restarted my computer same thing happened. After a few restarts starting the computer is safe mode pushing windows keys I tried crtl alt delete and the task manager started up I was able to get some things going like my pictures I was able to access my computer even go online and search the web. By pure fluke I went into my computer I right clicked search on my C drive and everything came back my desktop my icons everything I was like yay problem fixed but no after a restart back to no desktop and my documents popping up however I can still right click search on my Cdrive and everything comes back but of course thats a real pain any help on this would be great.

Hi cavado. Download Deckard's System Scanner (dss.exe) from here (http://deckard.geekstogo.com/dss.exe) to your Desktop. Close all open applications and windows, doubleclick on dss.exe to run it and follow the prompts.

When the scan is complete, a text file will open. Copy and paste the contents of this log (Main.txt) in your next reply. Also post the contents of Extra.txt (it should be minimised on your taskbar but if not, it can be found in the C:\Deckard\System Scanner folder). You may find that the maximum characters allowed is exceeded when you post. If so, halve the logs and make several posts.

Are your personal files on your C drive? inside that is your desktop folder that windows uses. if you try moving it to a different place, then moving it back that might fix it. just right click that desktop folder and click properties. Click the location tab and either restore or move to reset it. That might work.
