I go to My Computer, Local Drive(C:) then I click WINDOWS and it's like nothing is there....I don't know if this would have affected it, but I installed and ran Ad-Aware SE and Spybot Search & Destroy today and it removed about 130 something "errors" . That was the combined total of both the programs detected and removed errors....

When you navigate to the C:, look on the left side of the window...there should be a link that says "Show the contents of this folder". Click on that and you should be able to see what's in there. You may have to do the same thing with the Windows folder.

It gives me the option to "hide the contents of the folder" but it doesn't show any contents......I'll have to pick up this topic tommorrow....

Click Start, then Run, type system32 and click "Ok". Does this open the system 32 folder?

Let's look at a couple of registry settings,
Click Start, then Run, type regedit and click "Ok".
In the left pane of Registry Editor, expand (click +) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, then Directory, and click on Shell.
In the right pane, what is the value shown for (Default) under the Data column?
Then expand Drive and click on shell. Again, what is the value for (Default) under the Data column?
Click Start, then Run, type regedit and click "Ok".

Great! That's Windows Explorer...we can use that to get where we need to be. Expand (click +) each of the following:

- My computer
- Local Disk C:

Sorry, computernewbie...a wind storm knocked the power out for a few hours...
Go back to Drive and click on shell. Double click on (Default) and type none in the Value Data field. Click "Ok".
Try your programs and see if they will open normally. We may have a few more keys to adjust.
