[Bala Venkatasamy]

I have a laptop with win xp pro english version
(servicepack1). Since yesterday, I could not find control
panel short cut on my desktop. I think it is hided by some
program? Can u help me to solve the problem and to restore
control panel?

Is it not available when you go to Start > Settings > Control Panel?

And if it is there just drag n drop it on the desktop.
