My Program Files Folder disappeared!

hey everyone.
ok so i went to my computer and then local disc today and my program files folder is gone?! i was going to add some music to my NHL 06 playlist and when i look in my local disc there was no program files folder! all my programs run and everything,. but where did the info go? i am pretty confused about this so all help would be appreciated. thanks

Did you make it hidden by any chance?

i just checked. there it is,....how the heck could it have become hidden? i never changed the properties?,,,hmmm thanks for the heads up though. i appreciate it.

If you did a new windows install or haven't dealt w/ it on the current machine, it is often hidden by default.

i never did a fresh windows install or anything like that. last time i reformated and reinstalled was about 3 months ago. my program files folder was always there. i did just install NHL 06. i dont know if that somehow hid it. i dunno. it just confused me.
