You'll have to find the original installation CDs for
your missing programs and reinstall them one at a time.

Hi

If the files aren't in the Recycle Bin, then you may be able to recover them
with a 3rd party 'undelete' program:

This won't help if they used the program's uninstall routine, because
the deletion of entries from the Registry will not be 'undeleted' using
your proposed solution. As another poster has said, reinstalling from
the program's CDs is the way to do it.

The reader should exercise normal caution and backup the Registry and
data files regularly, and especially before making any changes to their
PC, as well as performing regular virus and spyware scans. I am not
