How do I get back programs missing from my Accessories?

Question

Don't know how it happened but I lost Calculator, Paint and Word Pad from my Accessories. How do I get them back?

Answer 1

do a search for the items

click Start - Search - then type in
wordpad.exe
calculator.exe
Paint.exe
do each of these searches separately
once it locates the file - find the folder it's in

(example C:/Program Files/WindowsNT/Accessories)
so then you open - My Computer - then double click each folder as you open them up
- C: drive - Program Files folder - WindowsNT - Accessories)

once you find them in the folder - drag and drop the icon in to your accessories section in the - Start - All programs - Accessories section (or where ever you had it in before)

Answer 2

You are going to need your Windows installation CD. From the start menu > control program > add/remove program > add/remove Window components > check "Accessories and Utilities" >[Next] > insert Windows CD and follow the instructions.
