My documents are gone!!

Hello,

Can anyone help, i tried to free up some disc space by clearing some temporary internet files, or so i thought, and it appears that i have wiped all my documents from my laptop! I rolled back my system to 4 days ago which has brough back some short cuts but when you click on them there is nothing there, it says the document has been changed or moved.

Have i deleted everything? Do i need to reformat my laptop?

I have my daughters 1st Holy Communion photos on it and now i just have a short cut to nothing, i'm gutted.

My system is Windows Vista and i have compaq presario c700. Is there anyone who can help me, without me having to pay someone to rip me off? I would really appreciate any help at all.
