Internet Explorer, Freecell and calculator have disappeared

Hi, hope you can help.

I run XP SP3 and have just done a disc cleanup durich which I uninstalled
Fax Service from Windows Components. Nothing else. On reboot Fax is still
there but IE, Freecell and Calculator have disappeared. I have Calculator+
so that's no problem, but Freecell I want back and of course there's no life
without IE even for a Firefox fan. All the other Windows games are still
there along with the utilities.

I've tried to re-install from the Windows Component menu but it wants my
Windows installation discs, which I don't have because my Windows is
pre-installed (and authenticated).

What now?

Thanks A.

Freecell: %SystemRoot%\system32\freecell.exe

IE: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

Calculator: %SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe

So you can create shortcuts to them, or find them with Explorer,
right-click, click "Create Shortcut", etc..

Did you ever find an answer? I've had the same problem happen within the past
few days.
