My C:\programdata\desktop folder has apparently gone missing.
How do I reinstall it, without doing a complete recovery? My Recycle Bin is empty and I know I would not have deleted this file.

I think that's a hidden folder.
2 ways of making it visible:
- Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab > Select Show hidden folders.
- Just type in c:\ProgramData\Desktop in the commandbar on top of explorer. This should show the contents of the folder.
and when it's gone.. go to an admin command prompt and type the following.
cd \programdata
mklink /j desktop c:\users\public\desktop
attrib +s +h desktop
this restores it.
