see this Folder anymore, yet all programs seem to work as before.

What is the matter?

When it finds the folder hover the mouse over it and it will tell
you the location.

Windows XP Setup >> Where did Program Files go? in Win XP? Well, I tried it and it did find a number of Program Files, but none for
Drive H, where I have all my programs installed.

Going to Explore on that drive also shows no Program Files (which were
always there), yet the Properties show that 13.5 GB are installed and so far
I see that all programs seem to work.

Checking with 2 programs for a Virus also showed none and my programs, as I
said, seem to work.

BUT - I like the Program Folder back, because I cannot make a selection
without that folder.

Very mysterious. Never had such a thing happen in 10 years.

Did you search Hidden files?

Windows XP Setup >> Where did Program Files go? in Win XP? Go to My Computer>Tools>Folder Options>View
and check Show Hidden Files and Folders.
The folder you are looking for more than likely is hidden.

The download keeps on asking for Association. that bugs me. There is no
association since this is the first Acrobat Reader 7.x download.

either. Checked that with 3 programs.

Did you also uncheck "Hide protected Operating system Files" as well?
