Is this a laptop? My kids used to drag folders all over the place by accident, while they were learning how to use the touchpad. Try a search for "Accessories" in Windows Explorer and see if the whole thing has just been dragged somewhere. Then you'll want to put it back to C:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs

If you can't find it (if it's been irretrievably deleted), you can always recreate the folder. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs and from the toolbar File menu, select "New" ..then "Folder" and name it "Accessories". Find the accessory executables that you want in there, create shortcuts, and put the shortcuts in the folder.

(My bet is that it's still somewhere on your system)
