[Vista] Lost Games (solitaire, freecell, etc)

Question

Hello,

Having bought my PC recently, yesterday Windows made several automatic updates,
only I noticed afterwards that the Solitaire, Spider, Freecell, Minesweeper, and Spades games had disappeared!
impossible to find them in the programs file

so if anyone has an idea how to recover / reinstall them, thanks...
I should mention that I received my PC with Vista already installed, and without any installation CDs

oh yes, I could do a system restore, but how do you do that?
and does it restore all my data that I have modified since...?

thanks

Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

Hello  Games may be disabled in the Windows features  Control Panel\Programs and Features, and on the left  Turn Windows features on or off...

Honestly, on Vista I'm not very familiar with the path but it should look a bit like XP and so you click on start menu/computer/C:/users/all users/start menu/games.

Good evening,

well, I did a system restore (choosing to restore just before the last Windows Live update) and the games reappeared,
and my documents remained intact

so the problem is solved

thank you anyway for your advice

Hello, I had the same problem... the solution suggested by Zaboukou was the right one for me!  Thank you :)

None of the two solutions worked. Following Mohoko's, I ended up with a completely empty game file. I'm afraid my daughter deleted everything, but I don't know how...
