I went to open paint and the program is gone. (maybe one of my kids
accidently wacked it).
Any suggestions
 
Hi,

Click start/run, or hit winkey+r, and type mspaint, then click ok. Does this
open it for you?

If it is gone then:
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows components

Most likely they just moved/deleted the program shortcut from the menu.
If they can do that then they're probably running in your account or an
admin account which is a BAD thing. Try Start > Run > "mspaint"

Yes start, run, mspaint it popped right up.
I wonder what happened, there was no "open recent" available.
Maybe somebody was trying to hide a pic. I will create a user account right
now.
Thank You for the help
