Control Panel missing icons
Posted by Martin on November 13th, 2005


Hi,

I notice that in the control panel under preformance and maintenance I am
missing iconsfor SYSTEM and POWER OPTIONS. Any ideas on how to get these back?

Thanks
Martin

Hi,

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT

REGISTRY BACKUP:
----------------
Click Start and click on Run.
Type Regedit.
From the Registry menu, click on Export Registry.
Give a destination file (say Regbackup) and save it on to the Desktop.

Follow the steps provided below:

Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load

Look in the right pane and you'll see the Control Panel Icons that have been
disabled. You can either right click on the "don't load" subkey and select
Delete to restore all disabled icons, or you can right click on each of the
items in the right pane and select Delete to selectively restore them. Scroll
up to Control Panel Applets for a listing of what each one is.

The change will be seen the next time you open Control Panel.

Regards,
Vikki
