It says "Windows cannot find "C:\users\TEMP"

Okay so I did that and it says it can't open it. I've tried it lots of times and its just not opening.

EXACT error message, please?

"Windows cannot find "C:\users\TEMP". Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again"

OUCH!  I'm wondering if the temporary profile got deleted.

Do a search one more time for what you were looking for.  If anything shows up, right-click on it, then left-click "Open file location."  Proceed to copy your schtuff back.

Okay I tried that and this is what im getting:

"C:\Users\TEMP\Music\Soulseek - Power refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."

wait a second; could the found files be shortcuts I wonder...

Why not do a simple search for the files extension ? ?

*.wma or *.mp3 or whichever they are ? ?

Problem is you will have to be VERY patient as they load if there are 10,000 of them...
Again at this point you need to start considering a backup strategy and some file management ideas.

Patio, I just did that and when I clicked on a song to see if it would play, nothing happened. This sucks!

[killerb255]

Sounds like they really are just shortcuts...

[Berti2.0]

So what does that mean? Have I lost my files?

[killerb255]

You just might have.

Do this, though:

1) Click "Organize" in the upper left hand corner, then "Folder and Search Options."
2) Click the "View" tab.
3) Uncheck the check box called "Hide file extensions for known file types."
4) Click Apply, then OK.

Do your search again.  Do ALL of the results have .lnk at the end of the name? 

If so, then they're all just shortcuts and I'm afraid you may have lost your files...time to consider using an undeleter program at that point (assuming they haven't been overwritten a few bazillion times...)

If not, then copy ONLY the ones without .lnk at the end of it to your new profile.
