Windows 7 - Need help finding location of files

Need help finding location of files

I recently got an SSD and followed this guide to set it up properly
How to: Setup SSD boot drive with secondary Hard disc optimization

My problem is that once I finished it and everything was quick, I was too stupid to not back up at all and I cut/paste the contents of the user folder's video, music and pictures into the windows libraries. Now I cannot log back into the account, and with my other accounts, I cannot find any of the files. Any one knows where they went or if they still exist?

You cannot move anything into libraries - only into folders. Libraries are only an index of folders. But if you move something to a library, it ends up in the default folder of that library. Look into the libraries Properties and see what the default folders are.

So does that mean that my files are in C:\Users\default? I am still pretty confused :P
Where is the default folder that you are talking about?

Right click on the libraries and go to Properties. The defauls is checked.

If you know the name of any of those files, maybe a search can help.
