A word to the wise...

There's a folder in the Windows directory. It's called Temp. It holds half of the programs you install, and a bunch of other important crap. Like the wallpaper...

Oh, and your start menu. I can't use the computer now cause i was cleaning out "junk" trying to free up space on my SSD, and i deleted the wrong folder

I'll see ya guys later! Reinstalling, as i don't feel like going through all the crap that i'd have to to rebuild this. (I typed my key in today too... )

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeestore point?

Lol, tiny SSD, saving space

That was one of the first things i turned off... i think i'll keep that one around next time.

For next time, if you goto %temp% that will take you to your real temp directory (which is under your user folder)

You can safely deleted the c:\windows\temp and tmp contents as well. Nothing really important is in there by default, sure if you save an IE picture in IE as your desktop wallpaper it might store it in the temp folder, but thats the only time your desktop background should be in there lol.

You can also cleanout c:\windows\prefetch safely as well no matter what windows it is, whatever was there rebuilds the indexes like before, cept this time its a clean slate and any chance of viruses being stored in those prefetch files are now all gone. Which I have seen a couple times working on customer PC's

may be you could keep an image of ur SSD on a seperate drive, atleast you dont have to go through the painful process of installing all your programs and the settings.
