Hi ding,
type (copy and paste) this into the "Run" box on your 'Start
Menu' OR into a 'Command Prompt' (dos-box) window :
reg DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control
Panel\Cpls" /v NokiaConnectionManager /f
(The above command should be all on one line but may not appear so due to
line-wrap. Please ensure that the command begins with 'reg' and ends with
'/f')
....this will delete the registry entry that 'posts' the 'Nokia Connection
Manager' to the 'Control Panel.
Should you later wish to 'reinstate' the 'Nokia Connection Manager' back to
the 'Control Panel' then execute the following command in the same way :
reg ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls"
/v NokiaConnectionManager /d "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia PC Suite
6\ConnectionManager.cpl" /f
(in the same way as above, this command should be all on one line)
However, in this 'restore' command, please ensure that the 'path' to Nokia's
ConnectionManager.cpl file is correct by typing out the command :
dir "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia PC Suite 6\ConnectionManager.cpl"
....at the 'Command Prompt', to check it. Just amend it if it is not
correct. (BTW a short path name will do just as well)
If you know about the registry, you can also navigate to the key specified
in the command, and create an 'undo' reg-file before deleting the entry
specified in the command.
*Note - Please exercise care when editing the registry, always create a
backup and / or create a 'System Restore' point first.
