Dowload TweakUI. That has section for choosing which items to show in
the control panel. Sorry I don't have a line for that to give you, but
you can find it easily enough by google.

I have TweakUI 2.10 for Windows XP. (I'm running XP SP2 2149)
There are 2 check boxes that might help, one for "bluetooth" and one for
"wireless link".
Neither appear to have any effect on the control panel icons.

You need to go to an SP2 newsgroup for that.

Hi,

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and list them here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from (if you have installed XP
SP1)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

If you have not installed SP1, the earlier version can be found at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

Its Control Panel page allows you to uncheck any item, so it gets
entered in a ControlPanel\dontload key of the registry and does not get
displayed. The items can still be run by locating the relevant .cpl
file in Windows\system32 and d-clicking, so if you want to prevent this,
move those files to somewhere else

Aren't CPL's monitored as part of Windows File Protection ?, I'll
have to rename one and see if SFC will restore it.

It will try, but will want the CD as it is not cached. So you can
cancel and confirm that you want to keep the old version. Should have
mentioned this
