XP Home Addition. Brand new laptop preloaded straight from HP.



The Accessories fold, which has the System Tools and Word Pad and others is
not showing. It is not anywhere on the Start menu. Where else would it be? I
especially am trying to get to the system restore so I can set a restore
point. In fact, that is how I realized the Accessories folder was missing.

Hmm... You might want to go ahead and start > run > paste in this
"%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe" without the quotes > hit enter >
and restore to a few days ago and see if maybe that brings back your missing
folder.
