After clearing several viruses I no longer have ALL PROGRAMS listed. I
reinstalled XP Pro which didn't bring it back. I had been right clicking on
the C drive icon on the desktop and clicking OPEN to view all programs but now
that doesn't work either. To view the contents of C drive I have to choose
Quickfind.
The reinstall automatically brought up all the necessary patches which were
deleted at the installation. All programs are working but I miss the quick
access to the contents of the drive.

Also after reinstalling XP Pro my system is unbelievably slow. From the
Windows splash screen to the desktop takes almost 2 minutes while before the
virus problem it took only a few seconds.
