Clean Registry and Optimize PC
Well, the first thing I have to ask is did you delete them or did you just remove them?
If you have just removed them from the control panel (add or remove programs) then they’re still there, you just have to do is do what RIPPIR said.
If you physically selected them and hit delete, then, yes check your recycle bin.
Just FYI, the remove windows components option doesn’t actually remove them. I have removed the windows games on my computer only to find that I can still open pinball in this location: C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\pinball.exe
It’s probably a similar thing with these other files, just do a search on your computer for the name of the program ("Paint") And you’ll probably find an EXE that will open it.
go to the add.remove in conrtol panel click on windows add/remove components uncheck them restart your computer and recheck them…..
If your computer is running slow
start run box msconfig go to the last box that is startup uncheck them all apart from your virus checker and spyware checker. click on apply and then ok the computer will ask you to reboot it, reboot your pc and it will be abit fast…..
go to the recycle bin . deleted things go there. i f u wanna deleted it permanently click the button tathat says delete or something. right click the thing u want back and an obvious option will be there
if you havent cleaned out ur recycling bin yet they should be in there. and if not you should reset your computer back to a date before you deleted them. (to do that is in your control panal)
hope it helps.
Check in your trash bin
if no luck try searchign for the Windows games in the search engine and paint, you might be ablt to download it
when you delete something it goes to the trash bin, so check there
if you want your computer to go faster Defrag your computer
e-mail me if you want to know how.
Control panel> Add & Remove Programs> Add/Remove Windows components (on the left side of window)> Accessories and utilities > select details and check everything you want to reinstall.
