All my desktop files have the same name - need help!

My smart sister was messing around on my computer and tried to rename just one folder—but she ended up renaming everything instead... oops. I guess there might be a quick or easy fix for this?

Could you grab a screenshot of the issue?

it's a total disaster

You'll have to walk.

The only thing I can really think of is rolling the system back using a system restore point (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...system-restore).

I'm not sure when you last made a restore point—or if you’ve even used one before—but just a heads-up: besides fixing those renamed icons, it'll revert a lot of other settings too, so maybe be careful with that.

Otherwise, I guess you'll just have to do what Bucky suggested.

I guess CTRL+Z usually does the trick if you hit it right away

I tried that immediately—but nothing changed, I guess.

Things are getting pretty messy here—it’s kind of a disaster, honestly. Like, renaming a Word doc is fine, but whenever I try to rename programs or folders, things just go sideways. Instead of changing the file I actually selected, it somehow renames a totally different one... so then I end up with two files that look identical, and when I try to delete one, the system won't let me. Plus, some of my files lost their icons entirely—they just look like broken uninstalled apps now. I have no idea how I managed to mess things up this badly?
