Missing programs in "Accessories"

[Guest]

OK, I bought a laptop from a friend running XP PRO. He had given me his admin
password for access, so I created a new Admin account for myself and deleted
his old account. The problem is I can't see all of the windows component
installed in "Accessories", It shows them installed when I go to "Add/Remove
windows components", but not under accessories/system tools in the start
menu, i.e. Defrag, Diskmgmt, command prompt, charater map, etc. I can find
them in the System32 folder and just shortcut them back in the start menu so
thats ok. Is there a way to have them show up again with out uninstalling and
reinstalling all the components? My other problem is trying to find "Remote
Desktop Connection" which windows says is already installed under
Accessories,Communication but is not showing up. Does anyone know which
folder the Executable is located in? Thanks

Just missed you. I stayed the night in Bernalillo at the Super 8 last
Thursday. On my way home here to Colorado. ;-)

Keep having fun!
