    Actually no, just those. many are untouched.

    What are the last modified/last access dates on those .exe files that are hidden?

    not just the x86 program files folder. have attached the result from both.
    So, based on those screens, are we to assume that "all" your .exe files within OS drive \ Program Files (both 32 and 64-bit) have been alterd to now be hidden?

    What if you issue the DIR command again but withOUT the *.exe part. Maybe every single file of any kind is now set to be hidden in those directories??

    Woomera,

    Until a cause and better solution is found, you might see if using the context menu from the tutorial below may help make it easier to unhide the ones that should not be hidden for you.

    File and Folder - Add "Hide" and "Unhide" to Context Menu

    Hope this helps,
