Windows 7 desktop icons deleted by themselves

[taha1557]

Today when i started my pc, after inserting my password it says "preparing desktop" and then half of my desktop icons are deleted and desktop background is changed to black and all my game shortcuts in the start menu are also not there. All programs are working fine but some games (which have gfwl) save files are deleted.
Any one know why this happen and how can i get my save files back.

May be restored by system. It will never happens by itself. Must be some mashup. may be windows version problem like modified windows version.

Corrupt profile...

Seems to me your profile is corrupt. If you have created your own login, that is not the actual default Administrator account. You could recreate the login profile.
You first might want to try creating a dummy account to check to see if the desktop is created correctly.

Try the following in Safe Mode

1. Boot to safe mode

2. navigate to c:\Document and Settings\ and find your profile folder.

3. Copy the desktop folder, Start Menu folder, and your favorites folder out to a location of your choosing.

4. Delete your login profile and then log back in having the PC recreate your profile.

Best of luck
