Control Panel, Administrative tools is empty

[Guest]

On my windows 2000 Professional, under control Panel -Administrative tools
folder no items, I know this are all shortcuts and I can copy them form
system32 folder, but I would like to know, why this is happening. When you
install windows 2000, of it should created all the icons there is that so?
Other than copying the icons in to that folder, is there any other way I will
be able to bring those Icons supposed to the under Administrative tools
folder. really appreciate some help

Tools shown in the Administrative tools folder are stored in the All Users
profile so that all users who logon suppose to see these. I believe you must
have install some other programs which has removed all these short cuts.

Just add in all the msc shortcuts back to the folder in the All Users
profile will be fine again.

HTH.

What happens if you logon as a new user? Right-click the Task
Bar|Properties|Advanced, then check the box for "Display Administrative
Tools"

If no joy then you'll likely need to recreate the shortcuts to them. Here
are the shortcut names and targets.
