That's another thing. Almost every single PC I work on is not set up correctly. Open Windows Explorer and go to View > Folder Options (in some systems Tools > Folder Options). Or simply find Folder Options in the Control Panel (some systems). Then select the VIEW tab (at the top). Make sure to uncheck anything that says to HIDE, and do select SHOW HIDDEN FILES It's really bogus that this is not set this way by default. Let people delete an EXE if they they want (few people would anyway). When you do a Repair reinstall of Windows you have to go back and do this again (and disable undesirable services again).
