Ok.. I was using a mac os x, and it was logged in as someone oreviously. I was trying to create a new account for my name (have no clue where I went), and instead of changing the name it created some kind of new folder, but with all of the previous user's files and apps.

After using it this way for about a week, someone reset the mac, and now the desktop is all gone, but still in a folder under my name. Certain apps. won't run now, and I don't know what to do.

Can anyone with the slightest idea of what may have happened, or knows what to do please help me?
 
It could be that your user account was deleted. When it's deleted, the user folder sometimes remains there or it is removed and stored in a folder called Deleted Users.

Sounds like you created an account on a computer that wasn't yours (public access computer as in a school or something). I'm surprised you didn't expect this to happen especially considering that it wasn't your own personal computer.
