I'm going to leave you with a short program and a "disclaimer:"

There are some rogue programs that can cause icons, programs, files, etc. to appear to be 'missing'. IF that is what has happened, try this:

1. Download Unhide.exe and save to the desktop.
  • Double-click on Unhide.exe icon to run the program.
  • This program will remove the +H, or hidden, attribute from all the files on your hard drives.

The Disclaimer:
Note: This does not remove the malware- only the attribute that hides icons and programs. It is important that you continue.
============================================
If you would like us to check the system for malware, please follow these steps: Preliminary Virus and Malware Removal.

NOTE: If you already have any of the scanning programs on the computer, please remove them and download the versions in these links.
