Windows xp Ate My Files

Good thing I kept my backup CD and it wasn't too out-of-date. Today, in class, as I tried to show my class that you have to be careful where you save your files, I was surprised to discover that my largest, most important folder had simply disappeared from 'My Documents" and all the other folders were shortcuts. "Search" didn't find my lost folder for me.

When I went to the technicians, they muttered that xp hade done this to others too!!!!! They found some of my missing folders, but not all of my files. My backup CD helped, but this leaves me scared. Obviously I can't save anything important and back it up on my IBM; it simply can't be trusted.
