Re: Where did Program Files go? in Win XP?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Well, I tried it and it did find a number of Program Files, but none for
Drive H, where I have all my programs installed.

Going to Explore on that drive also shows no Program Files (which were
always there), yet the Properties show that 13.5 GB are installed and so far
I see that all programs seem to work.

Checking with 2 programs for a Virus also showed none and my programs, as I
said, seem to work.

BUT - I like the Program Folder back, because I cannot make a selection
without that folder.

Very mysterious. Never had such a thing happen in 10 years.

Sorry, last item is to click Search, not OK, for there is no OK.
When it finds the folder hover the mouse over it and it will tell
you the location.
