gpedit.msc - No Control Panel?

[Paul Turnbull]

Hi,

I'd like to remove some items from my control panel without interfering with
cpl files, but the control panel is not listed in the gpedit utility - only
Windows Media Player is visible. I'm looking under Administrative Templates

OS is XP Pro SP1.

Any suggestions?

It is under "User Configuration" Admin Templates.

This allows to hide/unhide the icons that appear in "Control Panel". Hiding the extension does not
uninstall it and it can be executed by running that command at the command line.]

That's where I'm looking. Control Panel isn't listed anywhere.

You bet. TweakUI has a lot of other features also.

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 items you do not want to
see in the CP.
