Win7 system messed up after restart
During the day I clicked on a link saying I needed to check for updates or restart my computer. Don't remember exactly which program it was or in what order.
However, now when my computer starts up my desktop has reverted to some default desktop which is misssing a lot of my icons I had previously. Some of my shortcuts are still there, but most are missing.
Also my outlook email appears to be gone.
Internet explorer history and favorites is gone.
Also various registered software programs I had are now asking me for a registration key like I was still using a demo or trial version.
I'm at a loss of what to do as I had years of email on this system and can't afford to lose it.
