    ohmy missing Windows services

    I tried formatting and reinstalling Win XP Pro
    I also tried sfc/scannow
    I also tried chkdsk /p /f
    I accidentally uninstalled Client for Microsoft Networks - cuz I do not anyone anonymous connecting remotely to my PC.

    I am currently missing the following services:

    Alerter
    Computer Browser
    Server
    Workstation
    NetLogon

    I also am missing 2 registry folders
    Browser (as in Computer Browser)
    from
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters

    TerminalServerClient
    from
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\TerminalServerClient\Default

    I believe a hacker created some sortof script to hide them from my PC when I attempt to re-install the OS and somehow were able to access them remotely. Is it possible?

    how do I re-install all of them and how do I protect them against hackers?

    I also do not seem to have any spare copy of Win XP Pro SP2 CD.

    Re: missing Windows services

    If you want to get back the alerter service then you can usually do it by importing the below given registry data, similarly you can do a search and find registry data for all missing windows services:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Alerter]
    "Type"=dword:00000020
    "Start"=dword:00000004
    "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
    "ImagePath"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00, 52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\
    74,00,25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d ,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,73,\
    00,76,00,63,00,68,00,6f,00,73,00,74,00,2e,00,65,00 ,78,00,65,00,20,00,2d,00,\

    00,65,00,00,00
    "DisplayName"="Alerter"
    "DependOnService"=hex(7):4c,00,61,00,6e,00,6d,00,61,00,6e,00,57,00, 6f,00,72,00,\
    6b,00,73,00,74,00,61,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,6e,00,00 ,00,00,00
    "DependOnGroup"=hex(7):00,00
    "ObjectName"="NT AUTHORITY\\LocalService"
    "Description"="Notifies selected users and computers of administrative alerts. If the service is stopped, programs that use administrative alerts will not receive them. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start."

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Alerter\Parameters]
    "AlertNames"=hex(7):00,00
