Spider Solitare how can I get it back?

Hope you can help me. One of my employees have deleted my favorite game from our office computer. We have XP and he seems to have deleted Spider and Pinball. I am not that good on techie stuff and if I ask him he will know I like playing them.

Please can you help how can I restore them?

Many thanks

How long ago was it? If not too many days ago, a System Restore may work. Post back before attempting though. G

On the other hand, they may not be deleted at all - may be only their shortcuts were.

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\ & C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Pinball\. You may find the files spider.exe & pinball.exe respectively - they're the executables for the games. Double-click on each - if it opens up their respective games & they work fine, you're in business. Just create a shortcut for each & drag or copy+paste them to the location you desire for quick access. G

No problem TallGirl. Try my 2nd suggestion first though! Then the System Restore. G
