    Default Nothing in Document Setting nor Program Files

    I have Spybot - S&D 1.6 but something strange has happened. When we install it usually there are programs in Document Setting and in Program Files. I have nothing, I checked the wastebasket, found them did a restore and the disappeared.

    Would I be better to uninstall and re-install?

    Your post is somewhat vague. I do not understand what what you are trying to say.

    Can you please clarify? Where is this "Document" and Program Files?

    When you click on 'start' then 'work place' then 'Disc C' after which you can choose to double click either 'document settings which gives C:\Documents and Settings or 'programs files which gives C:\Program Files.

    After clicking 'start' then accessories I find Spybot -S&D with the following items:
    - Spybot - S&D
    -Tutorial
    -Uninstall Spybot - S&D
    -Update Spybot - S&D
    - Spybot - S&D (advanced)
    Usually I can find these in 'documents and settings'
    BUT THERE IS NOTHING

    In 'program files" all I find is the Spybot -S&D file folder but it is empty and before it would have the different programs in Spybot.

    Is there any way I can retrieve these files or am I better off to uninstall and re-install?

    Basically you're saying that there is nothing in the Programs Folder?

    Can you start Spybot-SD?

    Exactly. I realized this when I wanted to go into 'TeaTimer' properties to remove the check at 'read only' because I need to change a deny to accept.

    Yes I can. Ran it yesterday and it found no problems.

    Wow, this really confuses me... A program running without any Program Files.

    Alright, try to uninstall Spybot-Search&Destroy and perform a fresh install from here:

    But first disable TeaTimer and SDHelper via Advanced Mode.
