Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / August 2006Control Panel Is Lost
In trying to uninstall TweakUI, I unchecked some 'programs' under one of the tabs in Tweak - BIG, BIG mistake! Most of the icons that were in Control Panel are now gone! I tried reinstalling Tweak and it didn't install. I tried using System Restore, but it was uleless - none of the past two months worked (another issue for another day). Does anyone know how to restore Control Panel, short of reinstalling Windows? Hope so, because XP Home came pre-installed on this computer, and the files are located in a hidden partition on the hard drive. Thanks in advance. Bob Hi Bob, 1. Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe 2. Navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load 3. Backup the branch using the Export option under File menu 4. In the right pane, delete all the values whose data is set to "no" 5. Close Regedit.exe  SignatureRegards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] Windows® XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com In trying to uninstall TweakUI, I unchecked some 'programs' under one of the tabs in Tweak - BIG, BIG mistake!
