j/k LOL

Reckon you just need a system restore - easily done from the SYSTEM RESTORE option in START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS. Restroe back to earlier today or yesterday and you should be fine

Then put the keyboard out of reach

Easier method. Download a program called Restoration. It doesn't need installing, just runs from the exe http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html

Load it up, run a scan on your disks, see what it finds.

Cheers

ERm, System restore is the easiest thing you can ever do I use it LOADS! Was the PC good the day yesterday? Then restore it back to EXACTLY how it was yesterday!

Do you want to go back in time to before jnr fucked it? Then System Restore will let you - it's time travel for PC's!!!!!

does it work on vista?

i did what the it dept tell us to do everytime things fuck up which is log off and turn the computer off and on again
it seemed to work but there is still no recycle bin
and vista has some funny windows so you can't figure out what you are looking for ;(

i know it's only a desktop shortcut but where is the actual file
