In XP you can find it at
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\mspaint.exe
Thanks mardigras. However I've been using Start > Run > mspaint.exe several times, no dice. So, I'm positive it is gone. I believe I accidentally deleted it, year back, when I mass removing programs - in efforts of removing spyware.

Did you try C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\mspaint.exe to see if it was in there? That is actually the backup you would use to restore the file without the Windows CD. When my paint disappeared I found it there and just created a shortcut from that location to the desktop, then moved that shortcut to the place paint used to be on the Start Menu (in my case the Accessories folder).
