Cannot restore Documents folder

I have accidentally deleted my Documents folder. Because it appeared
twice in my system (both under Users and under Videos), I deleted the
latter, thinking that its a duplicate copy. I was surprised to see
that my Documents folder was completely deleted from my PC, from both
locations! I checked the Recycle Bin but the Folder is not there.

Is there a way to recover the files that were in the Documents folder?

Thanks

Same thing happend to me. I just went to c:\users\yourusername\ and made a
new folder called Documents which works, but the icon is now gone. I've been
trying to figure out how to restore the icon. I even copied the desktop.ini
out of another vista documents folder with no luck.
 
If someone could post the contents of their desktop.ini out of their
Documents folder that would be awsome, this is what I have so far but it
still will not display.

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21770
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-112
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-235
 
I even made a new user, which has the Documents icon and copied the
desktop.ini out of it onto the non-working one. Still no luck, anyone know of
a fix?
