Installation deleted everything on my desktop

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install software & run
2. (maybe) Find mplayer
3. Click ok to change root (or something similar to this. I don't recall 
exactly what the prompt said, I just followed what it was asking without paying 
much attention. But I think that was the problem.) 

I pointed it to the desktop folder where I was installing tdmaker, and then it 
appears to have deleted all files and folders on my desktop, and got stuck in a 
loop. It created the same set of folders over and over again within the 
[install folder]/tdmaker directory. ie: [install folder]/tdmaker/[install 
folder]/tdmaker/[install folder]/tdmaker/[install folder]... etc etc to approx 
10 folders deep. 

The program appeared to hang at this point. Probably had I not exited the 
program, it would have kept creating more folders within itself.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version. Windows 7 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm guessing I clicked something I shouldn't have, never dreaming that it could 
possibly do something so drastic. Just checking to see if there is any way to 
fix it, as I've lost a lot of files.

Further info: 
I can't be sure exactly when the deletions happened. At one point it mentioned 
something about Default Folder Paths and Root Folder. Carelessly I clicked OK 
and I think selected a folder on my desktop. I think this was what I did wrong.

Also, on first running the program and loading a video file, it appeared to 
hang on "creating screenshot". This is when it got stuck in a loop.

Sorry I can't be more precise. Didn't notice the files were deleted until this 
point.
