My User account is gone in Windows XP SP2 - Very Very Urgent

This morning when I started my machine, I was shocked to see that it was not the same machine. I could not see my Administrator User account in my machine while I log in and I logged into my mchine through an account that I never used to log in. Now the desktop is not the same, the programs that run on startup are not the same, my working environment is not the same and even my Email client needs to be configured and I cant see my previous mails. Please help me understand what went wrong and how can I rectify it.

Try to access user accounts in control panel, see if its still there.

if you have access to any account that has admin privileges, you by rights, have access to the entire file system. Look for it under c:\documents and settings\
