missing! I was then told to go to a command prompt and use
%SystemRoot%\System32\Pstores.exe -install
but I cannot find a command prompt in Windows XP that mpty - they all either
open at C://Documents and Settings or something else...

The Change directory command should work. Just type in the command prompt,

CD %SystemRoot%\System32
