Current desktop has no 2015 entries or early 2016s

During my difficulties stemming from my venture into Apple Support Discussions, my desktop was hashed thus leaving me with a desktop that belongs in the 2014 and early 2015 era. Everything has been fixed except that problem. I began an attempt to rebuild the Desktop by reinstalling the Adobe Creative Suite 4 (design premium). The reinstallation was smooth until the process completed. After completion, there should have been a request for my Serial Number, but there was no request. That makes me wonder if, somewhere in my machine, the missing desktop lurks and that I should not attempt to rebuild the history from scratch and memory. I really don't know what lurks behind the visible desktop. Does anyone have a good idea about recovering that lost desktop?

Curious as to why you apparently haven't used Recovery HD to solve the problem. Time Machine should be able to provide what you want.

This current question is a tiny piece of the puzzle that I have spent a couple of days working on with two layers of Apple geniuses. The problem also was messing up Time Machine's data.

It appears to me that I'll have to go back to Apple yet again to finish the job.
