This has happened to me twice before. Upon trying to uninstall and reinstall IE, MS paint as well as the MS Caluclator are removed from the start menu and I have no idea how to get them back.

Has anyone had a solution to this problem?

Make new shortcuts to their executables? Should be in %SystemRoot%\System32\mspaint.exe (C:\Windows\system32 or C:\Winnt\system32) and %SystemRoot%\System32\calc.exe.

Never had that problem, but you could also try ADD/REM PROGRAMS>WINDOWS COMPONENTS BUTTON>ACCESSORIES/UTILITIES. If the box is checked, uncheck it and restart. Then come back and check it.
