Do you have the file "appwiz.cpl" file in the System32 folder (c:\windows\system32)? If you do, double-click this file. What happens? Also, download TweakUI from Microsoft. Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (for Windows XP SP1 or higher) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx If Windows XP does not have any service packs installed then visit Ramesh's website to obtain Tweak UI for Windows XP with no Service Packs.
