Nepatsfan said:To recreate the shortcut to System Restore, do the following.
Right click on the System Tools entry in your Start menu and select "Open All
Users" from the menu.
This should open this folder,
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools
Right click on an open spot in the right hand pane and select New -> Shortcut
from the menu.
Copy the following command and paste it into the location box.
%SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
Hit the Next button and name your new shortcut System Restore.
Hit the Finish button.
Check your Start menu to see if the new shortcut works.
Good luck

When I got to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools " there is not a right hand pane to click into? Actually I am not looking for a shortcut. I wish to have the "System Restore" appear in System Tools in the Accessories section. Thank you........Jan
I was able to get there from the Help & Support section. I appreciate yourNepatsfan said:First off, click on your Start button and select Help and Support.
Under Pick a task, click on "Undo changes to your computer with System Restore".
If this doesn't launch System Restore then you should follow the advice Gerry
offered to reinstall System Restore.
If System Restore can be launched through Help and Support, hit the Cancel
button to close the window.
Getting back to your problem, most of the entries on your Start menu are
shortcuts to the programs they launch. If you don't see System Restore listed
under System Tools on your Start menu, you'll need to recreate the shortcut.
With that in mind, go back and open this folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools
At the top of the window, click on the File menu.
Move your mouse pointer down to New and select Shortcut from the menu that pops
out.
Enter the following command in the Location box.
%SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
Hit the Next button and name your new shortcut System Restore.
Click Finish.
If you're still not able to recreate the shortcut, you might want to download
and run the program mentioned in this article.
