Lost shortcuts for "Administrative Tools"

-

hi,

i've installed win server 2008 (entreprise, x64) recently , have done annoying mistake when trying organize start menu; noticed "administrative tools" both in "programs" part , in "control panel" part of start menu, decided remove folder in "programs".

i acted fast, , did notice entry in "control panel" shorcut pointing folder of programs removed! hence now, when try reach admin tools control panel, have following message box:

[window title]
location not available

[content]
c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\administrative tools refers location unavailable. on hard drive on computer, or on network. check make sure disk inserted, or connected internet or network, , try again. if still cannot located, information might have been moved different location.

[ok]

so here am, now, unable access these administrative tools easily.
is there way these shortcuts back?
alternatively, of guys zip "start menu\programs\administrative tools" folder , post somewhere (like on www.sendspace.org or here if works)? assume should work, since it's set of shortcuts after all.

thanks,
zouzou

most of associations obvious or can guessed.  rest can found opening them.  recreate empty folder, select .msc files in explorer, right click selected group , drag , drop them new folder, , select "create shortcuts".  rename ones can identify , open ones can't.
