can't find system restore shortcut on start menu

by keithb - 8/26/05 7:06 AM

I can still use system restore; but my problem is I can't seem to locate system restore on the start menu, I know that it used to be there. Is there any way to put the icon back on the start menu?
Running Window XP Home Edition. Help.

It is at Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools.

If it is missing, you can put the shortcut there:
At C:\Windows\System32\Restore, find rstrui.exe and create a shortcut. Cut and paste the shortcut to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\system Tools

When I find it in system tools, I just right click it and pin it to the start menu.

...if you want to, put it at the desktop, or the quick launch bar, or almost anywhere else.
