Default XP SP2 sometimes strips accessories (especially the calculator) Fix

:-D Hey All!

Just had this happen to me, I lost my CALCULATOR :wow:,

so I did a little poking around, apparently sometimes, when SP2 is installed, it strips some of the Accessory shortcuts from the Start/Programs menu.

This little utility fixed the problem in less than 30 seconds. Hope this will keep at least a few folks from the panic I had to endure, (dramatic sigh :wink

:-D I so know what you mean, I held off as long as I could, now I wish I had waited a little longer. But it's real good for testing troubleshooting skills :-D
