removing an address book from my desktop , inadvertently I eliminated all my
Accessories. Accessibilty,Communications, Entertainment, System tools, all
show empty.
How can I reinstall them without a complete reinstall of Windows?_

Did you delete those items or only their Start menu shortcuts?

Have you checked the Recycle Bin?

I also cleaned out the recycle bin. Believe I just eliminated the shortcuts
since I was able to use System Restore without replacing the missing shortcuts
