Guest Mani Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Hello, I just installed XP/sp2 and the windows folder is not showing in explorer. Going through "cmd" it's still on the computer. I also cannot change my keyboard to UK settings, though these are set in regional/language settings. Can anyone shed some light on how what to do ?

Guest Mani Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Re: windows folder gone. HELP Actually I just remembered that I had a virus on the system today (system32wxbp.exe) so that might have caused it.
