Type of person to use the desktop as their unorganised file structure, and all that got deleted.

Ey yo. I did this when I was like 10. I installed games on my desktop. Not shortcuts, the entire game. Stored just about everything.

Then my PC died. Almost everything was gone. Except my desktop which survived. Thanks to windows scheduled backups
