Desktop content gone & OSX settings reset

Hello,

I just restarted my mac (Powermac G5 OSX 10.4.11) after I opened iTunes and found no songs in my music box and the song I tried to open wouldn't play. When the computer started up all my desktop picture were gone and all the folders on the desktop were also gone. All the system settings were reset. The content in my storage is all there except a folder which I had open when I restarted - my music folder is basically all gone (including all the music I was working on) except for the one folder I had open in the music file. I would hate to think all the folders are just gone - I have a lot of work in those folders.

If you have any idea for a solution to this problem I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you.
David

Further researched shows that changing the short name of my account was the problem. I'm fixing the problem now - quite a scare!
