Administrative Tools Vanished

[xp_fool]

I'm not sure how but  the administrative tools on my xp pro pc have all vanished. As far as I'm aware, nothing has changed but I don't know when they exactly vanished as it's not something I look at everyday.
How do I get them back and why did they go in the first place?!?

Any help is very appreciated!

Go to "add/remove programs" and click on the windows setup tab. Uninstall the admin tools then reboot and reinstall them again in add remove programs.

I don't have admin tools in the add/remove windows components! i've looked under accessories etc but they're not listed!

search in your HDD:

*.msc

create a shortcut if you want!
all result will be the adminitrative tools

right click task bar, select properties, cl;ick advanced tab, check the box at/near the botton (there's a bunch) that says display administrative tools

BTW-control panel, add/remove programs, then on the side bar of the add/remove programs window you SHOULD have a button labelled add/remove windows components-if you don't you are either using XP Home(not sure if XPHome has the button), you're on a domain environment and that function has been disabled by the administrators or you had better abck up yer [censored] now....

BTW, Mandrake Linux is WAY better than any WinBlows OS could ever be, support them boths so I know this ya see....
