On my computer I have always had a folder named "David".  It's my miscellaneous folder for everything from chess games, pictures, etc etc.  Nothing that important really.  So yesterday I go to open my David folder and it's missing.  That's odd I think and check the recycle bin and it's not their.  I search all files and folders and it doesn't exist.  I use an on-line utility to look for it on my harddrive (because nothing is really deleted) and it finds 9000+ deleted files but none were anything from my David folder!  Where did my David folder go??  So fortunately I have my David folder backed up and restore it to the computer.  Well later today for laughs I check to see if my David folder is still their and it's vanished again!!  I do a virus scan and the system is clean.  Only I have acess to my computer.


Any theory's?? ???

Are you sure you only have access to your computer?
Maybe you was drunk when using it?
Are you on drugs?
