MS Paint
I always had MS Paint on my computer, but now that I want to use it, I notice that it's not on the list of programs in the Add/Remove list or the Start/Programs/Accessories list. I did a search & find it located in documents & some service pack files along with C:\I386.. When checking documents, it wasn't there, so I went back to search & sent it to documents, then I sent a copy to Desktop. I can open it from there to work on it; however, I want to get it back to where it was when first installed. Sometimes I have to go to "Open With" in order to open some files; however, MS Paint is not showing on that list anymore. Can anyone help me to get it back without having to do a system restore? I've installed too many other programs to do system restore & lose things. Thank you.

To get MS Paint back in the list of "Open With" programs, you should be able to do that by right clicking on any image that you wish to open in Paint, while holding down your shift key. This should give yu the "open with" options. Just select additional programs and/or browse to MS Paint. Having once done this, the Paint program should appear in the future.
