Eric and I have a laptop....it has two desktops one is his the other one that i use is guest. For some reason when we turned the cumputer on the other day the guest desktop option did not show up....serveral days later it is isnt showing up.
1. How could it have just disappeared?
2. How can I get it back with my oh so important files still in it?

go under whoever is the administrator on the computer and make sure the guest settings are set up right

The icon wouldn't normally disappear unless it was deleted. I would go to the settings and add guest back on and see if the files are there. If not, I would call microsoft or the laptop people to help retrieve it. Good luck.

DO NOT TOUCH GUEST ACCOUNT SETTINGS UNTIL YOU DO THIS! everytime you touch guest settings, it can potentially wipe out the files with no regard
the guest account was not really designed to be used as an account that you actually store stuff in. - What operating system are you using so that I can give you the steps to locate the files
I am going to assume its Windows XP
Logon to another user account
click start menu, go to My Computer. Double Click the C: drive, Find the folder called Documents & Settings, Double Click it, it should list user account names there
Find Guest, if its not there, contact me for additional steps, Double click it, then it should list the Typical folders you would use (ie: desktop, Documents, etc) click the appropriate folder and you will find your files in it
