There are many different ways that you can get to the Control Panel in XP. Since the Control Panel is the place to go for making configuration changes, I usually find that the more ways I have to get there, the better.
In a previous tip I showed you how to add the Control Panel to the Start Menu. It’s nice being able to click Start and see a link to the Control Panel right there. Another place I like to see a link to the Control Panel is within My Computer. Typically, XP does not display a link there unless you tell it to do so using the steps listed below.
- Click Start, point to All Programs, Accessories and click Windows Explorer.
- From the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
- Select the View tab.
- Check the box beside the Show Control Panel in My Computer option.
- Click OK.

Due to a virus we believe the “Control Panel” is no longer on the computer. We have dowloaded “Adware” to scan for virus’ every day. When I do a “search” on the computer for the Control Panel it is no where to be found. How can the “Control Panel” be reinstalled?
Thank you.
