So I installed Win7 and am fooling around with it and am pretty happy with my $30 investment (student discount). I find, on the toolbar in the lower left, the "Frequent Windows Explorer" folder, and I think to myself that I can move all my music, videos and pictures into these folders. I move all of my music into the "music library" and then leave my computer because I know it will take so long to copy 50GB of music.
I come back about 20 minutes later and delete my music folder. It gives me a warning message that this is permanent. I double check my "Music Library" folder to see that everything copied over, and it appears that it did. I click continue, and my old music folder is deleted ALONG WITH MY MUSIC LIBRARY FOLDER! Holy crap I didn't expect that.
Apparently the music library is not it's own distinct folder but just a shortcut to another folder, in this case the one I deleted.
I don't have a restore point
Oh crap.
