I have just done a reinstall of XP Pro.

In my Start>all programs I don't have accessories,
systems tools and Freecell!!!

I did the Add New programs and and window components and I have that block
checked but they don't show up and it does not prompt me to put my Win XP CD
in drive.

Any ideas on how to recover this items. I do need system restore pretty
quick!!!!
 
Restore missing shorcuts to the Accessories group:

The Accessories program group is not displayed on the All Programs menu in
Windows XP:

Right -click on C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf and chose Install. That will install
System Restore.
What XP Pro did you install? SP1 or SP2?
You need to install SP2 prior to installation (if it was installed before
reinstall of XP).
 
I will try when I get back to the computer.

I did install from my first XP Pro CD and then went through all the updates
including SP2, so it now shows I have all updates.
