start menu almost empty

How do I get to System Restore without a link on the Start menu anywhere?
Either in normal or safe mode? For some reason they've all disappeared.
Even the links in Administrative Tools.

Thanks for your help.

if type system restore in the vista help it has links there that will launch
it

If your start menu still has the search box in it just type out: Syste
Restore then hit enter and System Restore will launch

Here's the path to system restore: %systemroot%\system32\rstrui.ex

The problem is, nothings there beyond the Start menu button. I'm trying a W
endows reinstall, since whatever happened also destroyed all restore points.
