How can I restore my Office icons?

[Lovely]

What if you'd recreate the shortcuts to the .EXE files? right click in
Explorer at the c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs and
right-click, select new, shortcut. Point them to c:\program files\microsoft
office\office11\winword.exe excel.exe and apperently so on.

I had a similar problem, but the shortcut icons actually disappeared.
this happened after I use the maxtor utilities to copy the contents of
my smaller drive to my new larger drive and make it bootable.

recreating the links as you suggested above get's the programs working
just fine.

However, I can't find all of the tools that were installed with office
2003 pro and the office update site will not work because of the
missing msp files that were originally installed in a hidden folder.
mircogouge wants a 35.00 U$ payment before even attempting any help
with no guarantee that they can help.

anyone else encounter this problem and know how to restore or manually
download the windows installer to get the msp files put back where
they belong?

if there is no way to restore this is it safe to manually remove
office and delete the registry lines to office and then reinstall
office 2003 pro?

I would hate to have to reinstall everything after reformatting the
drive.
