Unable To Copy 'Control Panel' Shortcut To Desktop?

[(PeteCresswell)]

On one PC, I can drag/drop the shortcut from Start | Settings |
Control Panel onto the desktop, but on the other PC I cannot.

I can, however, drag drop shortcuts from entries on the
Start | Programs menu

?

With classic Start menu in use, I'm unable to drag/drop Control Panel ican. Whereas it works fine in Windows XP Start menu.

I think you've nailed it.

On the PC with the shortcut I probably had the XP start menu in
effect when I created the shortcut.

Thanks.

I think that's probably it.

You're welcome!
