Hi Guys... I just changed the way i log into my win 2000 machine. It was a username and no password and i changed it to no username and no password.. That was fine but now my whole desktop has changed.. How can i locate the desktop that was there originally.... is it possible as i had lots of stuff there....:confused:

I think it is in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop.

Perhaps try c:/Documents & Settings/click various users there/Desktop? When you create a new profile (at least on XP) the desktop is blank-ish on the new profile, so perhaps that's just it. It's probably still there just not on your desktop

/edit Damn Ruu and his uber-fastness...
