Corrupted Desktop

Ann wrote: On my Mac how do I get back my desktop. I can login but only my desktop photo is there. All the other logins the laptop can access all of their applications and documents.

Answer: Unfortunately your login has corrupted Ann. The easiest thing to do is create a new login and copy the data files from your old login into the new one and then delete the old one. When the desktop gets corrupted this way it can mean that your hard drive is having problems and you might need to replace it in the near future and please make sure you back-up your data regularly on an external drive, memory stick or DVD. You could lose all of your data if the drive has a permanent failure.
