How did you "accidentally remove" items from the Windows Setup tab since
there is no delete function available or do you mean that you uninstalled
them?

OK, so you did uninstall.

Look for the folder containing the file BASE2.CAB which with luck should
be in either the C:\Windows\Options\Install or C:\Windows\Options\Cabs
folder, which depends on the media from which the system was first
installed. Once located when Add/Remove Programs | Windows Setup asks you
to insert your Win Me CD instead point it at the folder containing
BASE2.CAB.
This should get you back up and running, Post back with how you get on
and then I'll explain what you need to do to make a new Win Me CD and also
how to get system restore back up and running.
