    I deleted my "log" and "WTF" folders from World of Warcraft, but now it seems that everytime I start the game up I lose things when I exit out. The first time I lost all of my address book, my iChat name, my iCal events, and even my mail login. The second time I exited my application all of my system preferences went back to default and my wallpaper was replaced with the default blue one. Any idea what happened or what I can do to restore these things? The only thing that really annoys my is the iCal events. Also, is this problem going to persist everytime I open and then close World of Warcraft?

    Edit: All of my widgets are lost too. The ones I downloaded are gone and everything has reverted to default...

    Yeah I'll do that. I uninstalled WoW just incase it had anything to do with that. I don't understand how the system could just do that instantly though without anything triggering it. I got everything back to what it was, with the exception of iCal and Address Book. I'm mainly worried about this happening again during school or something.
