Why not just download Skype again Lance? Assuming you have enough space left.

Once downloaded just put in your password and all your details will be there I think.

Or do a search for Skype on your c drive. You might have just deleted the icons. Click 'start' then 'search'. Type in Skype then find.

Hope you get it sorted.  :)

Click on the recycle bin that is on your desktop....hopefully all your deleted files are there. Select them and press Restore

1. Delete some files that you are sure you don't need (movies etc)
2. Open the recycle bin and delete everything in it.
3. Turn off and restart your computer
4. Do a system restore
5. Keep your fingers crossed

Lance i think as steve redding said, you will have to do a system restore, when you go into that, it will ask you do you want to restore to a point when every thing was working ok, click a date you are happy with and enter, hope this works for you.

The opposite alternative to deleting things you don't think you need is to save/back up everything you know you do then do a fresh installation of Windows. We all accrue gigabytes of absolute rubbish over time.
