My laptop had an error. can someone help me with it?

Question

I was on my laptop just sitting here listening to music and then i got this message.

C:\users\Landon\desktop is not accessible

The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

the only option i had was to press OK. so when i did it deleted all the icons on my desktop and everything i had saved to my desktop. I use Windows Vista and i have a Dell XPS M1710. The laptop works fine like i can do anything that i used to do. but i cannot save anything to the desktop or put any icons on my desktop. Help if you can...I was just goin to reformat...but that is a bit drastic if there is another solution.

Answer 1

Add another user, then delete the old one.

Answer 2

get a free laptop on this site instead of buying retail
