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

active directory sites and services.lnk  
active directory users and computers.lnk  
adsiedit.lnk  
certification authority.lnk  
component services.lnk

most, if not all, of these point microsoft common console files (*.msc) in %systemroot%\system32. mine are:
adsiedit.msc  
azman.msc  
certmgr.msc  
certsrv.msc  
certtmpl.msc  
comexp.msc  
compmgmt.msc  
devmgmt.msc  
dfsmgmt.msc  
diskmgmt.msc  
dnsmgmt.msc  
domain.msc  
dsa.msc  
dssite.msc  
eventvwr.msc  
fsmgmt.msc  
fsrm.msc  
gpedit.msc  
gpmc.msc  
gpme.msc  
gptedit.msc  
lusrmgr.msc  
napclcfg.msc  
nfsmgmt.msc  
ocsp.msc  
perfmon.msc  
pkiview.msc  
rsop.msc  
secpol.msc  
servermanager.msc  
services.msc  
storagemgmt.msc  
storexpl.msc  
tapimgmt.msc  
taskschd.msc  
tpm.msc  
tsadmin.msc  
tsconfig.msc  
tsmmc.msc  
wbadmin.msc  
wf.msc  
winsmgmt.msc  
wmimgmt.msc  
wsrm.msc 
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.
