Reinstall MS paint 1

[aquaboy1976]

I tried going to control panel to see if there was a component for MS Paint I could reinstall, but there is none. I tried to add/remove components for MS Paint on the Windows 2k CD, but there is no option. Any ideas?

Assuming no Group Policy issues, Paul Terrot discusess this issue:

Hidden in the C:\WINNT\INF directory is a file called sysoc.inf. On my Windows 2000 Professional system, this file contains the following text:

The key here is the section titled "old base components." If you remove the ",HIDE" text (or, ",hide" in some cases) from the lines in that section, those components will show up in Add/Remove Programs. You can also remove the ",hide" text from the Image Vue and Fax entries above it if you so desire. When you're done editing the file (it's wise to make a backup first just in case), save it and re-run Add/Remove Programs.
