MSPAINT

~LiLi~

Hi!
The problem is, my Paint(mspaint) has somehow vanished from my PC, i used it
two days a go and i need to use it again and i dont know where its gone. Ive
run Windows Search and it can not be found, Ive looked in all the folders and
its no where. Im running Windows XP SP2. Does anyone know how to reinstall
MSPaint?? Or how i can get it back??

Hi Lili

Try looking for mspaint.exe in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. That's
where mine lives :-) Once you find it, you can make a shortcut to it
for your desktop or Start Menu.

Have you tried a System Restore point to just before it went missing ?
