    Random exe files and folders suddenly gone!


    So I am a bit confused. I installed origin this morning and then started to download Battlefield 3. I then took a nap for 2 hours. When I got back on my laptop most of my exe files didn't work anymore and half the files in "Program Files" were gone. Not all the exe files and programs are gone though, I still have Notepad/Internet Explorer/Origin... wtf happened?

Very odd. My laptop has two HDs and on one of them something has happened to make the names of all the folders and files appear in blue text, rather than black. Stranger still. When I transfer any of these files or folders to another machine, the blue is transferred as well. I can't find any...

So I checked out the folder and it has a 'read only' attribute. Even if I de-check the 'read only' (using the highest...
