tonight i did a system restore as my internet was terrible. i could only get on a couple of sites & was unable to download anything. after the system restore i checked my internet & everything is fine now. but all my games, programs etc have disappeared from my desktop & start menu. if i go to all programs, there is a folder for only 1 or 2 games. if i go into these folders there is only a link to a website. i went to my computer & it says out of a 250gb hard drive, there is only 192gb free. so i double clicked the hard drive, went into program files & everything is still there, but nothing is installed. please help me get these back or if i have to reinstall them, help me get rid of all the old program files & folders.. could i just right click the folders & select delete? i would really appreciate some help here. THANKS

you will have to reinstall all the missing programs right click on programs you do not want to deleate them

You would have to delete your programs properly, go to start>(utilities? not sure what it's called, it's been a while since i used an english copy of XP)>Software, and uninstall them from there.

@ david66 : you do realise that if he does it your way, he'll mess up his windows registry even further?
