Well, this was unexpected. I uninstalled the IE7 beta the other day, since it was unstable (and did not work with our internal websites). So I restored to IE6, and then noticed two oddball things:

  1. Outlook Express was gone
  2. Microsoft Paint was gone

The first one I didn't care about so much, since I use Eudora. I use Paint for some tasks though, and it was just gone. I can't restore it either - trying to do so prompts for the XP service pack 2 CD (yeah, like those exist), which I don't have. The big question: How the heck did uninstalling IE 7 beta kill Paint? What the heck is up with that?
