Hey Guys! My little nephew dragged 'My Pictures' folder to some other folder. When I saw the folder missing with my last 7 years of photographs, I freaked out and first thing I did was to copy the whole 'My Pictures' folder from my backup drive, into 'My Documents'. Few days later, I realised what had happened and found the original 'My Pictures' in a sub-sub-sub folder somewhere on the drive. The problem is, instead of moving it back to 'my documents', I deleted it :| Now, I notice that, the backup folder that I copied in 'My Documents' is named 'Administrator's Pictures' and I can't rename it to 'My Pictures'. Also, 'My Pictures' shortcut in start menu takes me to the 'original' empty folder.

Any clues?

Please advice!
