a couple of things changed on my computer today when i turned it on.
the desktop lost all of the icons i had placed, and the finder no longer showed the music, pictures and documents folders on the left column.

any suggestions on how to restore to my old settings? help!

Go to Finder>Preferences>Sidebar and make sure that your desired folders are checked.
If they are and you are still not seeing them in the Sidebar, then do a Permissions Repair (Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility) and reboot.
