Place the Windows CD in your CD-ROM while holding down the left-shift button. Then, click Start-Settings-Control Panel. Add/Remove Programs applet. Windows Setup Tab. Check the box for Accessories. While the item is highlighted, click the Details button on the bottom-right. Scroll down ... click the Games checkbox. "Okay" the whole thing. It will ask for the Windows CD. Afterwards, reboot ... and the games will be back.

I'd recommend that you do this for each item listed in Windows Setup, in order to remove items you don't need, and to add useful components.

The next time that you do a clean installation of Windows, remember that this can be done during, instead of afterwards. Just one more thing that can save you some time.
