    windows keeps deleteing all my settings, accounts and documents

    Snow Leopard bug can delete entire account data

    I had this happen on windows XP. Something got corrupted without my knowledge, and i was logged correctly into my account, but with a different documents and settings folder. So what did I do? I moved the documents over to my new account and everything was good, until I restarted, and it deleted that temporary account, and everything in it.

    Just under one million songs, pictures of my family, videos, games, applications that resided on the desktop or folders in the desktop were instantly deleted upon restart.

    for about 20 hours I was planning massive homicide (genocide?) on the microsoft windows corporation.
