It seems that I have lost spider solitaire, solitaire, and free cell. How
can I reinstall them? |

If you head over to Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components. You'll be able to check to see if the games are currently installed, or not and reinstall them. From memory I think they're listed under Accessories and Utilities. |

I, too, have had Free Cell, Spider Solitaire, and Minesweeper disappear from my
hard drive. I can't find them anywhere. They are not under Accessories and not in recycle bin. I would like to have them back but I don't where to go to get them. |

Check the directory c:\windows\system32\... look for spider.exe |

It is rather difficult to uninstall these "built-in" games, and
they are not located in the Program Files folder. They exist simply as stand-alone .exe files in the WINDOWS \ system32 folder. And if the person only deleted the shortcuts then they can find them down there and create new shortcuts. If the games were uninstalled as Windows Components on the Accessories and Utilities \ Games checkbox, then they should still be available there by re-checking the selection box and installing. BTW, to see the listing select and highlight Accessories and Utilities without un-checking the item and then click the "Details" button below. |
