Calculator, etc.

Alright, my mom ran a Disk Cleanup, and clicked on one of
the tabs, then clicked on the thing that removes Windows
components that you don't use. How can I get all of these
back? She tells me she unchecked all of them except MSN
Explorer, but as far as I can tell, I've lost the
calculator, IE, some networking stuff, all the games, and
probably more that I haven't seen. First of all, why
would Microsoft include this? It's not worth the extra
few KB to delete all that useful stuff. And second, how
can I get it back? I've been searching Microsoft's site,
and I can't find anything, and I'm not going to contact
my computer developer to find out how to get Calculator.

You can go through the same wizard to install everything
she took off, but you need the Windows CD - so depending
on where you got the operating system, it will either be
a CD u purchased, or a Restore disk if it came with the
system. Also, some companies put the files in a folder on
your c: drive called i386.
Hope this helps.

Nah! These are windows components and can be added via add/remove windows
components in control panel.

But one would still need the XP-CD.
If you uninstalled a Windows component (Calculator), you would not expect it
to still be on your HDD anywhere, thus you would need the XP-CD to reinstall
it (Calculator).
