While installing Windows, noone has any choice about not to install a
particular program like Paint. So thats mean, only the shortcut is missing.

If Paint was already checked in "Add / Remove Windwos component", don't you
worry. Just uncheck the tick mark and click apply and then again make a check
mark and apply.
 
Hi Miss Kitty,

MS Paint can be accessed by typing this in Start, Run:

%windir%\system32\mspaint.exe

If you receive the following error, then you may need to reinstall Paint as
others said.

<error>
Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe'. Make sure you typed
the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the
Start button, and then click Search.
</error>
