I know this is not really a dev question, but I am a developer so this is
where I know to post...

I just installed Vista on a brand new laptop. Installed Visual Studio,
Office, etc. All was well.

Took my laptop to the office and connected to the network, no problem. Now
I have two user name/password combinations on this machine.

I logged into the user name/password within my domain at the office and
created a directory for a talk I am giving TOMORROW. I put the ppt and all
associated Vista demos into the directory. I tested the ppt and several of
the demos. No problem.

Disconnected. Took my computer home so I could practice more tonight and the
directory is GONE. My PPT is GONE, My demos are GONE. The desktop icons I set
up are GONE.

Where did Vista create all of this stuff and is there ANY way to find it
again?

Just to try it ... I tried logging in under both user name/passwords (one
for the domain and one not). The directory was not there in either case.
