Click Start.
Then Run
and copy and paste this into the box:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe

It SHOULD come up.

If you want to add it back to your start menu.
Click Start
Then Run
The copy:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\
Into the box.
Then find mspaint.exe, and drag it (using right mouse button) onto the start button. That should open, move to programs, accessories, then let go. Click "Create Shortcut" and bobs your uncle, its done!

Erm you could hit Start then go to Search then go to Search For Files And Folders and Search Paint. That should work

None of those worked :(
Surely you must be able to download it somewhere?

Do this, it WILL work.

Click Start
Then Run
The copy:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\
Into the box.
It should open Windows Explorer.
Then find mspaint.exe in that folder

How did you manage to loose it?

I looked in there, and it's not there. Everything to do with Paint has disapeard. Freaky!

Update: I found it! After searching for mspaint.exe I found it, then moved it to the desktop from the folder. Then placed it back into accessories.
Thank you so much guys, for all your help. You rawwk! :)
