Why do do think Excel is deleted?
You cannot accidentally delete Excel from your hard drive.
You have to uninstall it using Control Panel Add/Remove Programs
Did you just lose the shortcut to Excel?
Go to Start>Run and enter "excel.exe" and OK
Anything?
What happens when you do a file search for excel.exe?
