I was working with my XP when all of a sudden it rebooted in a split second(
in an action that looked like standard rebooting through the start menu, only
it took a split second)
when it rebooted and got to the windows user log on screen it didnt't go any
further after I entered the password , it also didn't freeze (I could still
move the cursur) but I couldnt click on anything (all was greyed out)
I had to reset it from the laptops power button.
after the reset I managed to get passed the password screen to find my
desktop lacking a lot of miles I had on it before and also lacking the my
computer icon.
it seems all of my windows settings and program settings have been reset
(bookmarks on both browsers and other stuff) ,as if I was logged in on a
different profile.
first weird things I've noticed:
when I right click on desktop or any other folder in the computer and scroll
down to the "new" tab , I can only creat either a shortcut or a folder (no
text/word files or any other thing) all original program have remained
installed by looking at the programs tab.

when I click on the Start menu , the left side of it is blank

I was worried about the Files I had on my desktop as I thought I had lost
them, I was surprised to find them by manually browsing to the desktop folder
via C:/
so everything is there, and yet does not appear on desktop.

I cannot unlock the task bar no matter if I richt click it and select
unlock, or go to it's properties and uncheck the lock box (it unchecks but
doesnt save and checks itself back when I reaccess it)
This are just a few of the issues I've encountered so far.
I am the only user/profile on this computer , my computer is virus/spam free.
Not even system recovery helped.
Anyone familiar with this issue, please help? I'm desperate.
Thanks in advance,
Amir
