Vista - HELP - Accessories Programs Gone

Hello

I recently downloaded a cleanup program that had good reviews from download.com. After using it, I saw that most of my programs in Accessories folder have disappeared!! For example, the System Tools folder is there but Cleanup and Defragmentar are not there, similarly, I have lost Calculator and many other programs. Besides, I somehow cannot use the backup restore that came with the cleanup program. I have uninstalled the cleanup program but can someone please let me know how to get my accessories programs back?
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit.

Any suggestion is most appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Ted

Thanks for your reply.
The link you have sent me is helpful but earlier I have tried to get my system to a previous restore point but it didn't help!

Is there any way I can insert my Vista installation disk and it can automatically detect missing programs and reinstall just them? Or some other way that may help?

Hi Voyager13, and welcome to Vista Forums.

If you have just lost the shortcuts in the Start Menu and not the program files themselves, then this tutorial will let you download copies of the default shortcuts that you can then add back the missing ones to the Start Menu.

Hope this helps,
