Windows XP Windows Games Have Dissappeared

[Skunk]

Hi,
I went to play a mine sweeper the other day, when i realised that there were only two games in the games file, i think my son has used my computer and removed them. Does anyone know where the games load from (What directory), thanks.

I Already have -

- Spider Solitaire
- Hearts

I am using a window's XP

C:\WINDOWS\system32

thats if they are still there

just remove and readd them.

 

[Skunk]

no, they're not there, You mentioned remvoing them and adding them again, how?

 

[muckshifter]

Go to 'add or remove programs'
On the left click 'add and remove windows components'
Click the 'details' button for 'accessories and utilities'
single-click 'games' and press the 'details' button
If minesweeper is unticked, tick it ...

I've tried that and it says 'The File Name winmine.exe on Windows XP Home Edition CD-Rom Is needed - Type the path where the file is located and click o.k and its says C:\WINDOWS\options\Install\i386 for the location which doesn't exist

 

[Skunk]

Also, i don't have the window's CD Rom

Get the biggest knife, axa or machettie you can find ... and chop his 'ands off.

Do you have a 'recovery' CD?

It may still be in the recycle bin?

I don't think system restore would work if the .EXE has been deleted.

 

[Skunk]

I don't have any recovery CD
