    Make sure they aren;t hidden, right click on start and click explore > Tools > Folder Options > View > Make sure show hidden files and folders is selected and also select show protected operating system files is selected > Appy and see if they have appeared

    Run up a DOS prompt and type:

    C:\> dir \

    Then check to see if the Program Files directory is listed. If it doesn't then type:

    C:\> dir \ /AH

    This will show up hidden files and directories. If it still doesn't show up then something strange has happened!
