SYSTEM RESTORE LOST MY PICTURES ETC

HELPPPPPPP!!!!
I was removing some old games that I didn't need anymore (with add/remove
program) and found that my pc, after having to reboot, didn't work correctly,
many files were missing. So, after exhausting all options, I had to do a
system restore. After I did that, I cannot find any pictures that I had on my
pc nor any microsoft word documents that I have saved. So, I did another SR
to a day earlier and still the same thing. I have searched for the files but
they dont show up. The folders are there, but when I open up the folders,
there is nothing in them. What do I do???? I have never had this problem
before and I'm completely stumped!
Thanks for your help

What kind of files were missing? Did you do anything else in addition to
using Add/Remove (e.g., did you use a registry "cleaner"?)?

Where had you saved them to initially? My Documents folder? My Pictures
folder? Elsewhere?

Have you tried undoing the System Restore?

Have you ruled out infestation with a virus?
