Desktop almost completely deleted, recovery?

[fataldarkness]

Ok longish story: Last night my computer lost power and died instantly because the battery was at 0% and my charger wasn't working. So I just decided to go to sleep and deal with it in the morning. Well I boot up my laptop and instead of my regular old crowed desktop with many important files, I get this:

please note that I have run virus scans and results show clean, as I also have not been using the internet for a while either. Should I try a system restore because it says it dosen`t affect documents? any other help is apprecited. Thanks in advance

have you checked too see if anything is hidden? ie right click/view/show desktop items.

there is malware that does something similar by hiding all your docs and icons, not particularly dangerous but annoying none the less.

Yes I have, I even have show hidden items and folders checked. I am pretty sure this is not malware because there is no way I could have obtained it since I have not used the internet in a while and I have not downloaded anything since July 2nd. One other thing that makes me believe it is not malware is that it hid/deleted all of my folders, files and most of my icons but not all of them. Are you sure the sudden shutdown had nothing to do with this?
