HELP! Running Windows XP Professional. Yesterday I shutdown my computer same
as always. Turned back on a little later and most of the icons in the control
panel are missing (Add/Remoive Programs, Add Software, Display etc). Did a
system restore to the day prior and still missing the icons. Can't figure out
what happened or how to get them back.
Any help?
 
Re: Most Control Panel Icons missing

Try microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

This group is for 64bit issues in all Windows 64bit editions.

You may get the answer here but it is not inherently an XP newsgroup as you
can see from its title.
