Hi

I had used TweakUI to play around with the various icons in the control panel. I removed the "International Settings" icon by mistake. Now, when I click on the check box in the TweakUI panel, the icon still does not appear. I ran the following command from the command line "control intl", but it doesn't work. I have also expanded the intl.cp_ file and overwritten the existing file. But the "International Settings" icon still doesn't appear in the Control Panel.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the icon back??

TIA
 
Do you mean the "Regional and language options" one?

Try typing start > run > control intl.cpl
or start > run > intl.cpl

Check this registry setting to make you sure you haven't got a "intl.cpl" =
"no" value key there - if so try (exporting it and / or) deleting it

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load

Hope this helps

Jon

Start | Run | Type: control international | OK

Or.........

Start | Run | Type: intl.cpl | OK

Either one will open Regional and Language Options.
 
Yes, the "Regional and Language Options"
Tried running "control intl.cpl" and "intl.cpl" ....no effects
No registry entry exists in HCU\Control Panel\don't load for intl.cpl

Any other suggestions?

Sashi
 
tried both commands...doesn't seem to be working.

details of the cpl file on my computer: (Win XP Home)

intl.cpl exists in c:\windows\system32 (121,856 bytes), 08/09/2002.

thanks

Could try checking this registry setting too to see if there's an entry for
intl.cpl.......

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control
Panel\don't load

sashi,

intl.cpl should be in both of these:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
And
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

There is a compressed version on your XP CD.
D:\I386\INTL.CP_

You can expand it.

Open a command prompt window.
Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK
This is for expanding from the XP CD.
Insert your XP CD into the drive and enter (or Copy and Paste) the following
command:

EXPAND -R X:\I386\INTL.CP_ Z:\WINDOWS\system32\intl.cpl

Then hit your Enter key.

Enter (or Copy and Paste) the following command:

EXPAND -R X:\I386\INTL.CP_ Z:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\intl.cpl

Then hit your Enter key.

NOTE :
Change X to = your CD drive letter i.e C {Source}
Change Z to = your hard drive letter i.e. D {Destination}
 
If you used TweakUI and unchecked it: It sent a value here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load]
"intl.cpl"="no"

Once re-checked via TUI:

TweakUI.exe: 3616 DeleteValueKey HKCU\Control Panel\don't load\intl.cpl
SUCCESS

The key is deleted and all is well. You must have done something else in
the meantime.
 
If you have a recent restore point it might be simpler to just copy any
important files into your "My Documents" folder and to restore your system
to an earlier time than your recent tweaking experiments.
(start> All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System Restore)

Failing that typing
start > run > sfc /scannow
may help to replace other corrupted files

Expanded both files as suggested by Wesley.
Checked the registry as suggested by Jon.

Nothing seems to work.

When I double click on the file "intl.cpl", I get the hourglass icon, as
if the system is busy processing, and then nothing happens. I opened the
control panel, but the settings icon is not there. However, in the TweakUI
Control Panel Settings, I have a checkmark in the box for intl.cpl.
 
Something of interest.

ncpa.cpl = Network Connections Control-Panel Stub

On my machine.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load
ncpa.cpl = no

TweakUI | Control Panel | ncpa.cpl is not even one of the choices.

Network Connections *is* in the Control Panel and double clicking it Opens
Network Connections.
Start | Run | ncpa.cpl | OK | Opens Network Connections
Start | Run | control netconnections | Opens Network Connections

Search for ncpa.cpl brings back nada.
Shoot!!
......Actually this seems to be another problem. ;-(

If Search is opened with searchadvancedoptions.vbs and then opened a second
time with searchadvancedoptions.vbs, the second instance does not have any
of the advanced options set. Heck of a time to find out about that little
gem. :-)

Mean while back at the Control Panel deal.

Double clicking ncpa.cpl in C:\WINDOWS\system32 Opens Network Connections
Double clicking ncpa.cpl in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache Opens Network
Connections

Theory: intl.cpl = no in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load
does *not* stop intl.cpl from working. Problem must be with intl.cpl.

The missing gpedit.msc is nothing to worry about, since it's not on XP Home

However, the "RPC Server Unavailable" error message is more worrying, since
it could be symptomatic of a worm infection like MSBlaster.

Have a look at this registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

See if you have an entry like
"windows auto update"="msblast.exe"
If so delete it and reboot

Then search Google and this group for MSBlaster removal advice

Failing that right-click this registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

and choose export ... save it as a .reg file
Then right-click the .reg file and choose "Edit"
Then paste in its contents here

Start | Run | Type: control international | OK

Or.........

Either one will open Regional and Language Options.

Hi

I had used TweakUI to play around with the various icons in
the control panel. I removed the "International Settings"
icon by mistake. Now, when I click on the check box in the
TweakUI panel, the icon still does not appear. I ran the
following command from the command line "control intl", but
it doesn't work. I have also expanded the intl.cp_ file and
overwritten the existing file. But the "International
Settings" icon still doesn't appear in the Control Panel.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the icon back??

TIA
 
Yeah, but at least I could see them, then. BTW, how is Houdini? <w>

Sashi,

If you have XP Home, you don't have gpedit.msc, only available in XP
Pro.

Yes, you may be missing something.

[[When you attempt to use the sfc /scannow command, the command may
not work, and you may receive the following error message:

Windows File Protection could not be initiate a scan of protected
system files. The specific code is 0x000006ba [The RPC Server is
unavailable.].

*CAUSE*
This behavior can occur if the certificate for Verisign time
stamping has been removed from the computer. This certificate is
listed as: "Issued To: No Liability Accepted, (c)97 Verisign, Inc.".
]]

Go here and read about the fix.

You may have deleted this certificate because it's expired,
however............

[[As you may have noticed in the provided information, some of the
certificates have expired. However, these certificates are necessary
for backwards compatibility. Even if there is an expired trusted root
certificate, anything that was signed with that certificate prior to
the expiration date needs that trusted root certificate to be
validated. As long
as expired certificates are not revoked, it can be used to validate
anything
that was signed prior to its expiration.]]

I am running XP Home...

typing "gpedit.msc" gives a message that Windows cannot find the
file and search does not show up the file "gpedit.msc".....

also typing sfc /scannow gives the message "Windows Flie Protection"
could not initiate a scan of the protected system files. The
specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC Server is unavailable]"

is that alright, or am i missing something??

This won't explain why intl.cpl does not work, but may explain why
Regional and Language Options isn't in the Control Panel if you
have XP Pro.

Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | OK |

Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative
Templates\Control Panel\
Hide specified Control Panel applets

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
r\NoControlPanel
and
Show only specified Control Panel applets

Expanded both files as suggested by Wesley.
Checked the registry as suggested by Jon.

Nothing seems to work.

When I double click on the file "intl.cpl", I get the hourglass
icon, as if the system is busy processing, and then nothing
happens. I opened the control panel, but the settings icon is not
there. However, in the TweakUI Control Panel Settings, I have a
checkmark in the box for intl.cpl.

You guys are a great help

Thanks


:

sashi,

intl.cpl should be in both of these:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
And
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

There is a compressed version on your XP CD.
D:\I386\INTL.CP_

You can expand it.

Open a command prompt window.
Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK
This is for expanding from the XP CD.
Insert your XP CD into the drive and enter (or Copy and Paste)
the following command:

EXPAND -R X:\I386\INTL.CP_ Z:\WINDOWS\system32\intl.cpl

Then hit your Enter key.

Enter (or Copy and Paste) the following command:

EXPAND -R X:\I386\INTL.CP_ Z:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\intl.cpl

Then hit your Enter key.

NOTE :
Change X to = your CD drive letter i.e C {Source}
Change Z to = your hard drive letter i.e. D {Destination}
