Hey everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong place!

I created this newbie friendly ;) guide myself for someone on the internet who had this problem, should work for anyone :)


This will restore most/all missing accessories which may have been disabled or accidentley removed.


**********************************
Part 1:
**********************************

First try and download and run
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

If this doesn't work, you can go on a friend, or someone elses windows xp computer and copy the accessories folder to your pc. ( If you can't do this, go below to the link which has files from the accessories folder which may have been deleted.)


**********************************
Part Two:
**********************************
If items are still missing:

Click the start button and click Run (on the right side) then type in C:\WINDOWS\system32

It'll come up with a folder, and a warning kind of message, press ok and proceed to the folder, now, you need to look for your games and paint, these should include

freecell.exe
hearts.exe
internet backgammon.exe
internet hearts.exe
internetreversi.exe
internet spades.exe
minesweeper.exe
solitaire.exe
spider solitaire.exe
paint.exe

(some games have slightly different names for this, if you just wait for the folder to fully load, just scroll through and look for the images(some start with ms) Though, if you need to get 'pinball.exe' then go to (default) C:\Program Files\Windows NT\ Pinball


**********************************

I've attatched the following files to the link below:

Calculator
MS Paint
Hearts
Freecell
The sound files you're missing
Solitaire
Spider solitaire
Minesweeper
and Pinball.

**********************************

Part 3

*********************************

Basically you need WinRAR to unzip the file or any unzipping program, just right click the rar file in the folder and click 'extract here to WindowsFILES\

It will then create a folder with all programs attatched.
