When I used the rd /s /q command to delete a malformed file with spaces in its name, somehow all the shortcuts on the desktop were deleted, the items in the Start menu were reduced, and even the options in the menu that appears when right-clicking on the desktop were reduced. Even more infuriating, “Shared Documents” on my computer became inaccessible, “User Documents” was deleted, and the whole thing is too awful to look at...........
The file I created was: (created on the desktop)
@echo off
md "hero \"
pause
But when deleting it, I accidentally typed rd /s /q hero \, missing the quotation marks, and then the situation described above appeared on the desktop. I don't know how this result came about internally, and whether there is any way to solve it, at least to access “Shared Documents.” If it can be restored to its original state, I would be extremely grateful.
