i came back from school and my paint tool and my word pad was removed from my system

not sure how to get it back

~HELP~
thnx
 
i dont know wat ur talking about because if i copy a wordpad or paint and paste it to my system it would say error because i can only find prefetch files instead of exe
 
couldn't find anything on my laptop i tried searching on this PC and found only this:
wordpad.exe-24533991.pf found in Windows prefetch
 
Both mspaint.exe and wordpad.exe are in the /Windows/System32 folder. Get the files from someone else and copy them to your own /Windows/System32 folder.

If you're only missing the shortcuts, then just make new ones directing to the corresponding files in your /Windows/System32 folder.

Edit: limit your file search to the Windows folder to make it faster.

True unless we are talking about win2000 where it is in the /winnt/system32.
