    I accidentally deleted this program from my computer and need it for work. I know it's on my windows XP disk, but how do I install that w/o reloading everything...or is there another way?

    You need to do a total uninstall first and you will need the Windows XP CD to reinstall the Windows Paint.

    Put the CD in. If autorun starts it click exit.

    Click Start, Run and type control appwiz.cpl,,2
    (or, use Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components in the Control panel)
    Double-click Accessories and Utilities
    Double-click Accessories
    Uncheck Paint and click OK, OK.
    Click Next.

    Windows will now uninstall Paint brush. Now repeat the above procedure, but enable the Paint entry in the 4th step and click Next. The required files are extracted from Windows XP CD-ROM and Paint is now reinstalled.
