..where did mail etc go to ? also backup in tools has gone as well. how can i
restore them. using win xp

To restore the other items such as MAPI Recipient, My Documents etc, type
these commands:

(Tip from David Candy)

From Start, Run:
regsvr32 /i shell32
regsvr32 sendmail
rundll32 mydocs.dll,PerUserInit
regsvr32 zipfldr

To add other shortcuts to the Send To menu, you need to create shortcuts in
the SendTo folder. Information in the following KB will help:
