Windows XP directory help

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me in finding a lost (i’ll call it a
directory) I always had under My computer, Local disk (C), Docs &
Settings My name. All of a sudden it’s gone and under my name were
subdirectories of Application data, Cookies, Favorites & Local
Settings. I used the Local Settins all the time to delete history
files, temps and temp internet sites. All that is now showing is:
All Users
Default Users\Non-Adm
Owner
I have installed on my computer; Ad-Aware, Spt-Bot, Zone Alarm Pro, &
Norton AV. Could any of these, in their settings, have caused the
disappearence of my name?
Any help would be much appreciated to retrieve this file.
Thanks,
Paul H.

Have you tried using "Find files and Folders" to search for it?

If it may be hidden, click on "Tools" - "Folder Options" from the menu
in Windows Explorer then click the "View" tab. Under "Hidden Files"
check the "Show all files" radio button. You may have to logon as
"Administrator" to access it (depends on the system).
