Internet Explorer, Freecell and calculator have disappeared
Hi, hope you can help.
I run XP SP3 and have just done a disc cleanup durich which I uninstalled Fax Service from Windows Components. Nothing else. On reboot Fax is still there but IE, Freecell and Calculator have disappeared. I have Calculator+ so that's no problem, but Freecell I want back and of course there's no life without IE even for a Firefox fan. All the other Windows games are still there along with the utilities. I've tried to re-install from the Windows Component menu but it wants my Windows installation discs, which I don't have because my Windows is pre-installed (and authenticated). What now? Thanks A. |

Freecell: %SystemRoot%\system32\freecell.exe IE: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" Calculator: %SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe So you can create shortcuts to them, or find them with Explorer, right-click, click "Create Shortcut", etc.. -- Joe =o) |
