Hi James,
Provided that you did not simply set system files to hidden, you can extract
a new one. Start/run msconfig, click on "expand file" (general tab)
File to expand: charmap.exe
From: X:\I386
To: %windir%\system32
Where X is whatever letter is assigned your CD drive (you need your WinXP CD
for this), change it accordingly. If your system was preinstalled, you may
find this instead on the hard drive under C:\Windows\I386. If so, change the
"from" line accordingly. Reboot when finished.
