I came in tonight, turned my mac on and everything on the desktop has been restored to its default settings. The wallpaper, the dock, the desktop icons, everything is gone.

All my applications are there, my movies, my music but there's nothing in my documents folder, I have no bookmarks, and all my desktop files and folders are gone! OMG, I had a lot of important work in my documents folder!

I've done nothing unusual with the computer today other than - when you open the finder, there's folder with my name on it and a little house icon....I changed my name to have a space in it? Would that have caused this?

Is there no way I could restore the system to an earlier date?
 
Right, I've just went into the users folder and all my documents are there under the username with the space! How on earth do I get this and all my settings back?

Apologies, after earlier problems this has all freaked me out!
 
Nope, I can't rename the folder unfortunately. Hopefully this illustrated the problem:

As you can see, I renamed the home folder to have a space and now it's created a user folder with the spaced name.

Within the spaced folder, contains all my documents, music, libraries etc.
