    About a month ago, I went to a friend's house and redid their computer. But now, it has come to my attention that several "core" programs are missing, such as:

    MS Paint
    All standard games
    WordPad
    Calculator
    And probably most of the accessories as well.

    Any ideas that don't involve me reinstalling their PC again?

    Hi Lukeno1,

    As a start, have one of them go to: Control Panel | Add Remove Programs.

    Click: "Add\Remove Windows Components" (in the left column) and in the box that comes up, make sure that "Accessories and Utilities" is checked.

    Have them check the freezer :D (that's probably where the car keys are, too)

    Anyway, I take it that Accessories, etc., wasn't checked?
