Administrative Tools in Vista

03-11-2007

I have the link in the control panel. Unfortunately, when I was organizing
the start menu, Vista decided to delete the Administrative Tools links. (I
didn't delete them). Now, when trying to access it via the control panel, it
says that the link in the start menu is gone and it can't run Admin Tools.
(Like the control panel icon is only a link to a start menu item). Can
anyone tell me how to fix this or what dll to link in the start menu to
regain functionality of the control panel Admin Tools item?

Right-click Start, Properties, Start Menu Tab then customize. Scroll down and
Admin Tools is near the bottom. Tick the selection you want.

I did that. It created a folder in accessories, however the folder is empty,
and I still have no access to administrative tools.
