    Wait, how ‘gone’ is everything? Do you mean you’ve lost only the things in your web browser? Or are all the things on your desktop gone as well? Pictures, documents, music, all the rest? Have you looked at your user folder yet? What browser are you using? What version of Windows were you on before, if you know?

      I didn't even notice that. Yup. My pictures, downloads, everything. That stuff has got to be in a file somewhere. I'll Google this problem later. I gotta go smell some roses.

        All I know is not to let those smug Microsoft bastids get to you. That’s what they want. Odds are they’re too full of themselves to simply destroy your data. No, they’ll have hidden it somewhere out of the way like in the Users folder under a Public directory. Or at the root of the volume in a Network directory. You know, so you’ll be the one to destroy your data not even knowing it’s in there. They’ll have put it beyond the scope of the search indexes, too, because otherwise your hair might not go gray overnight as you panic about losing a lifetime’s worth of family photos. One of these days, you sadistic Washingtonian misengineers… One of these days.

      Chrome and Win7 (I think?). How funny. I'm not sure what OS version I was on. That speaks to the stability of Windows these days. I haven't reloaded my OS in years and hadn't even realized it.
