[QUOTE="officemanager, post: 900398, member: 118944"] Hello everyone, Just a bit ago I finished the upgrade to Snow Leopard on my work machine. Everything went without a hitch until I logged back in after the upgrade... it's as if my account has been reset to a brand new account. All icons are gone on the desktop, my doc is reset, and worst of all the Documents folder is empty save one new file dropped into it during the installation! As far as I can tell the Documents really are gone, they don't exist anywhere on the hard drive. Obviously this is a [i]horrific[/i] problem... from my searching online I can't find anyone else who has experienced this. Thankfully I have Time Machine working and am restoring the lost files now. Has anyone else seen mention of this happening to others? Jacob [/QUOTE]
