lost calculator

[Guest]

Cannot find calculator. Tried looking in system 32 folder but don't think it
is there. Could I have deleted it? I know nothing so any instructions need to
be very clear and step by step.

files and copy is in the system32 folder.... wait. I think it might be in
WINDOWS and then go to Program files and copy the address of the folder and
go to seach on the start menu. Paste the address in the search location
place and Calculator in the file name. it is bound to show up

Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Add/Remove Windows Components>Accessories
and Utilities>Accessories. There you will find Calculator.

First off, why do you say that you've lost the calculator? On the
Start menu, right click on the shortcut for Calculator and make
sure that it's pointing to %SystemRoot%\System32\calc.exe.

Run a search for calc.exe. That's the file that's launched when
you select Calculator from the Start Menu.
It should be in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
If it's not there, look in the C:\Windows\System32\Dllcache
folder.
Copy calc.exe from the dllcache folder to the System32 folder.

If you don't find it in either location, then you can try the
following:

Find your Windows XP installation CD and put it in your CD drive.
Go to Start -> Run and type cmd.exe in the Open box.
Enter the following in the command prompt window.

Expand D:\I386\calc.ex_ C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe

The above assumes that Windows is installed on your C drive and
your CD drive is D.

Post back if you have any questions.
