There are a few people who can log on to my computer. All of their
information and folders are there when they log on, When i log on, my desktop
screen comes up, but when i click on IE or my itunes, nothing happens. When i
go to 'All Programs' from my start menu, the pop-up screen is clear and the
whole screen freezes. When i look on 'My Computer' i see the folders of
everyone else except for mine. However, when i backed up the computer, my
files showed up on the screen during the back-up so they have to be still
there. Please someone help!!

It would be wise of you to create separate user accounts for all those with
access to your computer (if you haven't done that already), with yourself
as administrator and the others as guest accounts. Log on as administrator
and go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.

Now, for your problem, see this page:
