Answer
HI -- NICELY>>>> VERY hard to help people who dont give the full story, as asked in my profile.

Rather than guessing what you might have done, I will suggest that you simply do a repair installation (assuming you have the disk{s}---
This is easy, takes 1/2 hour or so, and makes sure things are right.
(unless you have some other software installed that modifies ADT)

CONTROL PANEL
CHANGE/REMOVE PROGRAMS
YOUR ADT
SELECT CHANGE -- you will get an option for a repair installation. If you are on a release that this applies to, be sure to check the box for CUSTOM installation, wheh that window opens, and be sure to install the Express Tools, as as well as creating an icon and profile for plain AutoCAD too, if you want that
(varies by release --- I think 2006 7 8 are that way)

Does that help?
