Re: control panel

 

If you have turned the Control Panel option off in the first level of the

Start Menu, then you can turn it back using the registry tweaking script at

this site (first one in the list):

ogirehp:

 

Don't know about getting it back onto the Start menu but Control Panel

appears in the left pane of a Windows Explorer window and in "My

Computer". You can also create a desktop shortcut to it by entering

"C:\Windows\control.exe" as the command line.

 

If the file does not exist you may have to reinstall it from the CD

but I don't know how you would do this.

You used to fix it by downloading and running fixnocontrolpanel.vbs.

Unfortunately, MVP Doug Knox has long since removed this and other Win98

fixes from his terrific website. As a public service, albeit for a small

public, someone should get a hold of him and repost them somewhere. JMHO.

Copy and paste the above into a notepad document, and save it as

fixnocontrolpanel.vbs file. At that point you should be able to

double click it and the magic will happen? Watch out for word wrap...
