Default Calculator disappeared?

I restarted my computer and the calculator is no longer
available for me to use. Can anyone explain how I can
find it and/or reinstall it to my computer? Thanks for
your help!

Open Windows Explorer and look in the Windows folder for the calc.exe file.
If found, double click it. If the calculator appears, you just need to
create a shortcut to it and then place the shortcut wherever you want it.

If calc.exe is not found or it doesn't work, it is a standard W98 file that
you can extract from your CD to the Windows folder using sfc.exe.

Run sfc.exe and select the "extract one file..." option. Type in the
complete name of the missing file you want to restore or use the browse
button for a file replacement. Click start and in the resulting window,
browse to the location of the folder containing the W98 .cab files (either
the hard drive or CDRom drive). If the information in the "save in" box is
wrong, use the browse button to show where the file is to be restored to.
Click OK and if appropriate, on the resulting screen, show the location
where the file being replaced is to be backed up to. Click OK or skip as
appropriate. Restart your computer and the file replacement will occur
during the boot process.

If you are going to use sfc.exe for other than the extract option, I highly
recommend that you first read the article he
