How to recover lost or hidden programs and files

Somehow, I lost my XP programs including my excel and Word documents.  If I've not deleted, I could find them?

Hi TL-777,

In addition to the post of Samhrutha, please see the following link on how to show hidden files:

Also, it is common that this issue be caused by a virus or malware.  I suggest you a scan currently running on your computer to make sure that this is not the case.  If necessary, you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner, it's free:

I hope this helps!
