<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

On April 1st, I took a screenshot of my girlfriend's computer desktop. I put the screen shot as her desktop background and put the actual contents of her desktop in a folder located on her desktop. My plan was that she would click every icon to no avail, but when she clicked the folder (now the only active thing on the desktop) she would conveniently find all her icons and documents and even a message from me. I even put a JPEG image of her desktop next to the folder to clue her in when she thought something was wrong. 

Unfortunately, things didn't go quite as I hoped. When nothing worked on her desktop, she blamed the folder that she had never seen before and deleted the folder without looking in it. Then she immediately emptied her trash. 

Now, she's pissed at me because MY prank deleted all her files, and recovery software only saved four of them. I told her no person could ever foresee her making such rash decisions to troubleshoot a frozen desktop. Reddit, is this my fault?
<bot>: the classic desktop background as screen shot prank played on girlfriend. to troubleshoot, she deletes all her files. my fault?!
