Lost Administrative Tools in Win7

Hi Everyone,

I am still using Win7 64bit Ultimate SP1, and today discovered the "Administrative Tools" icon in Control Panel was "greyed out".

It was also totally unresponsive when clicked - producing only an empty dialogue box (see below) together with a listing of all other drives.

I have tried starting from the <Start> box, but just get the same result.

Can anyone point me to a solution for restoring it please?

Thank you.

Hi Samuria,

Many thanks for replying to my problem.

I have done what you suggest but, as you will see from the screenshot, nothing untoward is found.

All further suggestions gratefully received!!

Hi Samuria,

Unfortunately, the only thing I find in the folder is shown below, together with a shot of the .ini content.

Might the files be elsewhere on the system and, more impirtantly, how could they have become wiped out in this way?
