If you had them originally, they're probably still on your computer. You may
have inadvertantly deleted their shortcuts on the Start > All Programs menu.

Search your computer for files named spider.exe (that's Spider Solitaire)
and sol.exe (that's regular Solitaire.) If you find them, all you need to do
is to add shortcuts to those programs to your Start > All Programs menu. But
before you do that, search your computer for a folder named Games. If you
find one, it probably contains shortcuts to all the games that came with XP,
so just add the Games folder back to your Start > All Programs menu.

If you don't find any of those items on your computer, it's easy to
re-install them (you may need your Windows XP CD.) Go to Control Panel > Add
or Remove Programs and, on the left hand column, choose Add/Remove Windows
Components.

You can uninstall and reinstall these parts of Windows from the
Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/remove Windows
Components. If the games are missing here and if you get Windows with
your computer, contact the hardware manufacturer for help. The games
may not be included in your version of Windows.
