I can't browse c:\program files on the notebook because c:\program files is a protected system directory for XP and it doesn't let me browse it.
Padanian, I agree with Eddy... You should be able to browse this folder (if it's hidden, click on 'show files' links at right. Or, in Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > go to the 2nd tab and the 5th option is something like 'Show System Folders contents'.
