Are the progs still installed???? did You have them pinned or were You just using recent progs???

I took the post as every thing is missing, like the start menu was deleted. This being the case, system restore from the DVD would be the easiest fix since he may not be comfortable with a command prompt.

Then again, you can always type in rstrui in the search box to get to system restore.

Type in RSTRUI in the box that says start search and hit the enter key. That will bring up system restore. Follow the directions and choose a date and time to restore your computer to the way it was before your room mate messed with it.

Easy as can be. 

Problem fixed just need to re-add the shortcuts to my start menu folder. Easy as pie but my roommate don't know that so more rent for him.      

Funny voidcore

tell your roomie if he touches it again he'll lose a couple fingers

Would be better and easier to create a new user for yourself and move eveything - documents and such over to the new account.

Thus eveything would be back to better than missing what may be gone. Then you can remove the old account if you want after you get moved.
