My computer froze and when I re-booted, my desktop had been reset to default settings and I lost the My Documents folder. The rest of my c: drive (and other drives) were intact.

When I check the used space on c: drive, there is no more free space than there was before.

I have searched for files and folders in My Documents but can't find them.

If I go to "Disc Clean Up", it says that there is 2GB in "old chkdsk files". The explanation underneath is that these are files that were recovered when "chkdsk" checks your hard drive and saves them in the root directory.

I can't locate these files. There is no "view files" button in disc clean up and I can't find them in the root. I have made sure hidden files are shown.

Can I restore these files? Is there a repair utility that I can run?

I am running XP Pro.
