Default games for WinXP

[H0ly-H@nd-Gr3nade]

Somehow the shortcuts for the default games (solitaire, hearts, etc.) got removed from the "games" folder under the start menu. I have searched Google and can't seem to find it, but where are they so I can remake the shortcuts?

I have looked all through the WINDOWS folder, but it is giant, and almost impossible to find anything in there without knowing where it is.

They should be in: C:\WINDOWS\system32 if you didn't do anything odd

Do you know the name of the files?

EDIT: Nvm.. found it! TY Trooper!

Here's the easiest thing. I zipped up my game shortcuts from XP Pro and attached it. Try Extracting them to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Games

Even better. You guys are a life saver.

For as helpful as Google is, I couldn't think of any combination of keywords to find this. I tried several different ways (and I can generally find things quickly) but they all failed me. I guess that shows humans > computers at least in some things!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing cause I know I remember an old tip to get the default icons back in Win311 but I didn't see anything for XP.

You actually play these games?

Nope, but my aunt is here visiting. She went to go play some solitaire, and she found a blank games folder under the start menu.

Should have told her that all was as intended

I should have made a note: "These games have been removed due to their crapiness. Sorry for any inconvenience."
