When I click on all programs, windows won't open any of my program files.

I haven't added any software or hardware. I just turned on the computer and noticed that the shortcuts and folders on my office everything was different. Then when I tried to do a restore Windows system says it does not recognize the name of the file. Even with other programs, I try to open. Any suggestions?

    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    This can also occur if the user account is damaged. If the computer is not connected to a domain controller, try the following steps.
