or something like the manufacturers "restore CD" to get those programs back. It could be there is "restore partition" on your hard disk with everything (kind of alternate CD), but then you have gotten some manual or instruction on how to use that.
If you're sure the PC came without any disk, you're badly handicapped. Better contact the manufacturer on what to do.
Maybe, if you tell make and model here, somebody can tell more. But without that information, all we can do is just the general story.

The recent newsletter about what files in Windows could be deleted, prompted me to clear off some unused programs via Add/Remove, and then disk cleanup where I selected the options to clean up programs I don't use, and clean up of all but last restore point, also defragmented the computer,
But lots of my Accessories have disappeared, Paint, Games etc. Yet I use these frequently, how can I get them back? I don't have a disk the windows was pre-installed and I was never given a disk. I don't know if anything else is missing yet, probably won't find out until I come to use it!
