Control panel icoms

[Guest]

Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure I used to have a system icon
and maybe another one, power option icom when going to start/ control
panel/preformance and maintenance. The icons I have now under pick a
ControlPanel icon are: Administrative Tools & Scheduled Tasks.

Any ideas on how to get the other missing icons to reappear?

Many thanks
Martin

Many thanks Ramesh. That worked. What exactly did that command do?

You're welcome Martin. Shell32 registration does a small repair / restore of
incorrect keys, and as a side-effect, fixes the Control Panel categories.
