Hi folks: I'm running XP SP2 and it is all up to date. When I hit Start
usually you see Printers and Fax on the right of the pane below Control
Panel - I never have. But this was not a problem as I could go to
Control Panel. But now Printers and Faxes have gone from there as well.
I may have accidentally dragged the icon out of Control Panel. All my
printers work correctly but how do I can I get the icon back into
Control Panel?
Thanks, Donald
 
Thank you Brian. A nice succinct useful reply. And now that I have found
Kellys Corner I wont have to post so often. Donald
 
Hi Brian: Thanks for the reply, Kellys Corner is very useful. However,
nothing works. I tried gpedit and it is only available in XP Pro. I
tried Regedit and deleted Don't load. Printers were not amongst the
don't load items but I deleted it anyway.
So, any further ideas please? The reason I want to get into Printers is
that one of mine is networked and I can't remember its address which I
need to get another computer to talk to it.
Thanks, Donald
