And when you post, use a more descriptive subject line. The control panel icon that probably is missing is "Portable Media Devices". Do you have Windows Media Player 11 installed? If so, it's possible that this update may have removed it. See http://help.lockergnome.com/windows/Portable-Media-Devices-missing-Control-Panel-ftopict520425.html Or ask in the microsoft.public.windowsmedia newsgroup.
