  Hello CalebCox,

  I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue.

  Method 1:

  This problem can be caused due to infection by the Virus. I suggest that you run a virus scan on your computer using Microsoft Safety scanner and check if you have the same problem.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Check if you have the same problem in the new user account.

  You can refer to the link below, which will give you information on how to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279783

  If works, you can copy data to the new user account:

• M.I.A. system tools!

  I was about to do a system restore and when I went to system tools, the only thing that was there was Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). All other options disappeared. I think that this can happen when IE 8 has been downloaded. How can I recover my system tools? I went into the control panel and found that the Administrative Tools page was also empty. What gives?

  Under Accessories > system tools, that's all there is.
  If your Admin tools are missing from Control Panel, you can get using this article: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/admintools.htm

  If you want to go ahead and do a restore of the system first, go to start > run, type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe, and press to enter. Who's going to start restoring the system for you.

• SYSTEM TOOLS (restore, backup, etc.) have disappeared

  I had a virus. I used Microsoft Safety Scanner & Essentials to eradicate the virus.  Then I could not restore or save.  In fact, all functions in the bar of accessories system tools have been removed.  I opened my XP reinstallation CD, but this would not work because windows is the entered PRODUCT KEY inccorrect... I used the correct numbers.   How can I reinstall XP Professional to restore all my system tools?

  Before you reinstall, why not give this a whirl:

• My XP desktop seems to have thrown my 'system tools' function and I want to use the disk cleanup and defragmentation... How to get back the system tools?

  My computer is as I said above a desk with the microsoft XP program and is a little less than five years.  It has been slow and it dawned on me that I hadn't used the disk cleanup or some defrag for a while, but I clicked on start, all programs, accessories, System Tools was is no longer.  I have not been able to access the disk cleanup or defragment option and hope that out there, can someone advise me how to get this feature.

  You can run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter disk since the start > run box by typing the following

  Cleanmgr
  Dfrg.msc

  You can restore all of the 'Accessories' group (including system tools) by following the directions here--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

  Or you could just create shortcuts to

  C:\Windows\system32\dfrg.msc
  and
  %SystemRoot%\System32\cleanmgr.exe

  Note that % SystemRoot % is the directory where Windows.  You can use this form or explicit as in the example for the shortcut from the Defrag.

• In Windows XP, the BACKUP utility in system tools requires a floppy disk should be created when you back up an entire volume. Why should a disk be used?

  As floppy drive are no longer included in laptops, the use of a USB storage device would make more sense now? Is this possible?

  Richard1952,

  Yes, you should be able to select an area on which you want to record on.

  Start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > backup: make sure to follow the installation instructions USB is plugged on when you start the backup utility.

  Good luck! Please rate me upward if you find my post helpful. Thank you!

• Guest user can access the system tools?

  Start menu > all programs > Accessories > system tools

  This allows the user access to computer, control panel (and running and same command prompt), although I selected "don't display this item" through properties > Start Menu > customize. Is there something I don't understand? I don't want a guest user to gain access to ANY 'system tools '. How can I accomplish this?

  Hi Jim,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  The guest account providing minimum privileges to perform tasks not requiring administrative privileges.  People using the guest account cannot install software or hardware, change settings, or create a password. Because the guest account allows a user to log on to a network, browse the Internet, and shut down the computer, you must disable the guest account when not in use.

  You can open the command prompt in elevated mode (with administrative privileges), which is actually necessary to run multiple commands that can affect your system. If you use Windows 7 Professional or higher edition, group policy can be edited privileges for the guest account. To learn more, you can re-post your query in the TechNet forums calling for changes in the group policies for the guest account.

• Missing system tools

  My system tools folder is empty so that access is more disk cleanup, Defragmenter, System Restore etc. Manually find these somewhere?

  Thank you

  Although it is always a good idea to check for malware, please do not upgrade on the spot (aka repair facility), at least not until you have exhausted other options.  In addition, in Windows XP, run the file system (sfc/scannow) checker won't you good at all (it won't hurt either).

  The System Tools folder is just a collection of shortcuts (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu demarrer\programmes\accessoires\outils tools).  Unless your computer has been seriously compromised, the tools are still there:

  Defragmenter: %SystemRoot%\system32\dfrg.msc

  Disk Cleanup: %SystemRoot%\system32\cleanmgr.exe

  System Restore: %SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

  Information System: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe"

  Security Center: %SystemRoot%\system32\wscui.cpl

  Character map: %SystemRoot%\system32\charmap.exe

  The shortcut to schedule tasks is a bit more complicated, but see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721931.aspx

  For re - complete the tasks of the system with the shortcuts (if you don't want to add them manually), see--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

• After a virus, I've lost the system restore for cannot defragment now. Also lost system tools/options.

  Original title: after a virus, I've lost the system restore for cannot defragment now

  I had a virus which caused problems one of the minor being I've lost the system tools. It now says its empty when I open it.

  You don't need system defragmentation tools.

  You can defragment from the hard drive, then right-click of your hard drive, properties, tools, defragment now.

  Of course, you must fix your missing tools too.

  Here's the easiest way I know (thank you, Ramesh):

  http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/accessories.htm

  Part of the answer to the technical support engineer Microsoft does not too which make me think that the MSE has never actually tested this Board to see if it actually works or not.  It's a shame.

  In addition, these shortcuts are not part in the folder in any case.  These things must go in the folder for all users - if you don't want your XP to be ignored.  It is a source of embarrassment.

  I don't know what you used to remove the virus, but I could do that at some point (soon):

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• "System Tools" icon is out of the office, lack also disk cleanup and defragmentation in Windows XP

  The 'System tools' icon on my desktop disappeared.  I used it when I defragmented the computer and disk cleanup.

  When I hit 'start' 'Programs', 'Accessories' I have 'System tools' option, but when it is open, the icons are many and unintelliglble for me. There is nothing of cleaning disk or Defrag.  How can I get my old icon on the desktop to disk cleanup and defragmentation among other choices?

  Thanks for the tips.
