What is the name of this program you can't find? And what kind of files
are you talking about?

Why would you want to?

i just bought system mechanic and and the virus protection stopped working they emailed me instruction and the last part said to go to my programs and files in my c drive and change the name of the program to old copy and when i went to my c drive i couldn't find the programs and files so i wondered where it went and how i could get it back

Do this:
Start-> run -> cmd -> OK
at the dos prompt type:
echo %ProgramFiles% <enter>
it will tell you where it is.

You can also type
cd %ProgramFiles%
dir /p

and see what folders you have.

Note: type programfiles in the same case that I typed above.

Not sure what you mean by put them back. Where are they? You didn't
tell us!

i don't know i just type in wut u said and they popped up

 

[Big Al]

Okay, we're missing something. What is on the screen when you typed:
echo %ProgramFiles% ??

And where is it 'poping up', what program are you seeing them on or
where are you seeing. Remember we can't see a thing so you have to be
'descriptive'. Pretend we're blind.

And how will you then see the description no matter how well it is formed?

I guess you could get someone to read it to you unless of course, you are also
hearing impaired<g>

Play symantics all you want.

Got me but 'they popped up' gives me nothing to work with.
If he had copied the dos screen to a message, I would "see" better.

I could assume this 'popped up' is a windows pop up maybe. If he had
said 'they were listed in the DIR command on the screen', or had told us
what the output on the screen was to the echo command, that would give
anyone a lot more to go on.
But vague words like 'there' and 'they' convey little info.
And in a cmd window you can cut and past it into a text message. Which
works well in a text based newsgroup to convey MORE info.

Lighten up Big Al

I just thought it was amusing that you suggested OP give a description that a
blind person could read.

You have to laugh louder, I guess I'm both blind and deaf.

I reply to 6 or 7 thousand posts a year over in the Excel news groups so I
empathize with your sentiments.

Posters could give a little more description than "Excel starts but doesn't do
what I want. What is wrong with it?"

Or my favorite...............

I did what you told me and it didn't work. Can you tell me different that does
work?
