Do you mena that Control Panel is no longer listed under Settings, or that
you can't access Control Panel?

Your error message indicates that this is probably a Group Policy setting.

Try this to open the Control Panel...
Start | Run | Type: control | OK

If XP Pro...

Open Group Policy...
Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | OK |

Navigate to >>>
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\
Prohibit access to the Control Panel
Set to Not Configured.

Also check these settings...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor
er]
"NoControlPanel"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explo
rer]
"NoControlPanel"=dword:00000000
