I have been having a problem with executable files simply being deleted... I even backed up my important files and did a system restore, and it was just fine but it happened again after a day, so I restored AGAIN.
*sigh* And after 2 or so more days, it is happening again.
This is what's going on (and by the way, I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition, NOT 98):
Suddenly, I start losing executable files (EXE files), and Microsoft Paint, Caculator, the Sound Device program that runs in the task manager bar, are usually the first ones to go. I now don't have Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, and I'm sure other programs I haven't realized are gone yet.
The files are deleted from the start menu, the desktop, C:/Program Files, etc. The whole folder isn't deleted, just the exe files. And with Internet Explorer, for example, I can still open it with a saved link, or by putting a web address into windows explorer, but there seems to be no way to open it otherwise.

WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!? Help me!
