yea i think i hit the wrong button.i went to users/my username and right clicked,then properties and checked the "hidden" box under read only(which i thought would reveal the hidden files),then i selected all files and folders.and so it did this thing for about 5 minutes and all of a sudden half of my desktop icons were gone and there was not even a username file anymore.so i had to figure out how to get it back.and when i did everything was screwed up.
