Hi

What do you see if you type or copy/paste the following into Start>Run:

C:\program files

Replace - if needed - 'C' with the drive where Windows is installed onto.

It should be there. It's there on mine. You might make sure that it's not
set as a hidden folder. If it is, you may have to set your global folder
options to show all files (hidden or not). If you want to prove to yourself
it's there or not, go to the root of C and create a directory called
'program files' and see if you get an 'already exists' message.
