Hi just wondering if anyone knew what the deal is with stuff windows 7 randomly deletes from the desktop?

My gf just messaged me in tears because she keeps everything on her desktop and its all gone. So far she's looked in the desktop folders, tried on desktop right click -> view -> show desktop icons, tried searching my computer for certain files. Nothing seems to be there anymore. I had a similar problem before with win 7 deleting so called broken icons, but I never had anything important on my desktop.

Google seems to give a few simple solutions from microsoft, but nothing seems to have worked so far.

Anyone got any ideas? Is it all gone, or will windows have hidden it somewhere?
