Hi,
I agree.
The patch should have fixed that, however
your workaround works which is fantastic! What we do
out on the field in those types of situation is repair system
files to return Windows to it's pristine state using this method:

course scanning the system vigorously with antivirus scanners.

| Hi Jimmy, thanks for your reply.
|
| But it did not work ... I may have done it wrong. I
| downloaded the file "msi.reg", executed it and got a reply
| that "it" was added to my registry. Then re-boot. But
| still did not show up in the Control Panel.
|
| Now ... I have another machine with XP. Looking at
| shortcuts in the Admin Tools in the Control Panel I could
| identify the files. Then found them on the other computer
| and made my own Control Panel > Admin Tools folder.
|
| So I have what I wanted. But, still would like to know
| how to put it back as it should be.
|
| Thanks again, Jon Watkins
