I already have an issue with another PC...

but on this one... when I login to Windows XP as the user Administrator
1) The Desktop is totaly empty
2) The background image went off
3) My Documents are in another place showing my documents empty

I dont use this PC regularily so the version I am hearing is that they were
working ok and shut down at the end of the day, as usual....

Next morning (Today) the problem shows up...

I clicked the option to show desktop icon on the contextual menu of the
desktop
and the Icons come back, then I copy all the documents to the My Documents
Folder again... and everything showed resolved...

but the problem started again once I Shutdown and turn on again...

Any Idea?

Any comments is greatly Welcome

I'd suspect that your PC suffers from a corrupted profile and a new one must
be created, logged into, and the old one must have it's stuff moved into the
new one, and - in some instances - ownership must be taken...
