Hi,
I'm at work, and I left my computer to go to eat lunch. For some reason, when I returned all of my files in My Documents on my local drive were automatically deleted. Does anyone know why this could have possibly occured? No one else had access to my computer while I was gone.
 
I forgot to mention that I am using Windows XP.
 
A couple of possibilities:

1. Check your recycle bin
2. Is your My Documents folder remapped to a network share? If so, a logoff and logon may remap the share.
3. Tried a search of your harddrive, via Windows Search?
