no notepad, no wordpad

When I login the administrator account and go to start/all
programs/accessories, all I see are accessibility, communications,
entertainment, and system tools. There is no notepad, no wordpad, no
calculator, no command prompt, etc.

However, when I login as a regular user, I could see notepad and command
prompt, although I still don't see calculator and wordpad.

I checked the the Control Panel and see that the accessories are indeed
installed.

How do I make them all appear? Thanks.

Since the applications are installed, just add shortcuts to them to the
Admnistrator's Start Menu. Right-click on the Start button and choose
"Explore all users". You'll now see the familiar two-paned Explorer window
showing everybody's Start Menu. You can right-click/drag/copy whatever
shortcuts to whatever Start Menu you want.
