I had some folders which contains important files on the desktop. I went to windows explorer and hide the desktop and now I can not locate where the files are.
Please help me to restore the files.

Why on earth did you do this?? You'll have to reverse the process you went through to "hide" the Desktop. I have no idea what you did to do this.

If you cannot reverse this, then you should try a System Restore.

How about open windows explorer and use folder option to show all file?

If you have a copy of a LiveLinux bootable from CDROM (you may need to change your boot sequence in BIOS), then you might just be able to see what you have lost or hidden. If so, you may be able to rescue them to a USB pen drive or to CD/RW.
If your PC is formatted to FAT32 rather than NTFS then you might be able to rescue them to your PC. As far as I am aware, LiveLinux can read NTFS but not write to NTFS.

Thanks a lot. I have used system restore and everything is fine.
Actually there is young man in my office once I leave my PC, he comes and start copying files from my pc so I did hide the desktop as to prevent him doing so.

You could try grabbing him by the neck (or elsewhere as appropriate) with firm instructions that he is not to touch your PC under threat of further pain.
You could take the more usual security steps to forbid access to your PC by, for instance, having the need to log on with username and password that you only know and closing your system down at end of working day, but you could also password protect your system's BIOS so a password would be required before windows boots. If you are not permitted to switch-off your system, then introduce a password protected screensaver.
I am sure there are other things you could do, but security (or the lack of) appears to be a primary concern at your workplace. Perhaps you should speak to your boss about this situation. If this lad can gain access, who else gains unauthorised access to confidential information.

Hi,
i wrote a service process that configured to be automatic on system startup.
It worked fine till i upgraded my XP to SP2.
It won't start on automatic startup, but manualy it will start.
The event viewer report for error event-id 7009 (Timeout (name milliseconds) waiting for service to connect.).
Does anyone know how can i solve that problem?
Thanks,
Dudi

Well, i didn't mention that my service loads a dll for system-wide keyboard hooking (using SetWindowsHookEx function with WH_KEYBOARD_LL parameter).
I commented out the hooking and the service started on system startup.
It seems that there is a problem to hook from service on XP SP2 till the you login.
Do you know something about that?

Use the depends tool to see what other DLLs your DLL is trying to load when it registers.

with what kind of file extension have you played ?
to restore it, you can go into this :
open a windows explorer
click on Tools > Folders Options...
select the "Files Types" Tab
go to the file type you modified
there, select the action you want to do. if you cannot change by hand, then delete the file association. when you'll try to open such a file type next time, windows will ask you which application to use to open it.

i have tried all that stuff.i think there must be some command which is used to open folders

Before you changed those settings, did you take a restore point ? if so you could revert to an earlier setting, if not, look at restore point history and try restoring to a date just prior to when your settings were changed.
Failing that, sounds like you need to dig into the registry and change settings there. But be careful, make the wrong setting could cause your PC to die.

Do you mean from the command line?

hey, that's great... 
but where did you find such an info ?
*when typing in command line things such as control /?, nothing happens...

You can even create your own control panel applets.
