hey all, i just got a computer with windows already installed and am already hating life. first of all, when i download music files from the internet they go straight to my desktop as a shortcut, i tried fix this by going to "default programs" and putting it on windows default settings, but it always goes straight back to "custom settings" when i never even set custom settings.

also when i got back on my computer after a day literally 4/5's of my music files were completely gone! anybody know where they could have gone?
