Re: contol panel icon missing from start menu

Here is a variation of the same problem and I want to know if the same
solution is applicable.
The primary user of the WIndows XP Pro PC is defined in the "administrator"
group and has the same problem as Kathleen. The PC is a standalone which is
also connected to a Novell network. I am another user defined in the
"administator" group and I have no problems seeing the control panel icon in
the "start" menu. The user having the problem indicated it started when a
virus was detected and not removed... another symptom that occured at the
same time was the contents of the "hosts" file was removed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bernie

I followed the instructions Ramesh gave & my Control Panel is back in My
Computer .. I can once again access "Set Program Access & Defaults" .. I will
be running scans to make sure the Trojan which caused this is gone (more
about that in another thread on here) .. Thank you & good luck Bard on
getting yours sorted.

A value of 1 also removes Control Panel from the Start menu, and it removes the Control Panel folder from Windows Explorer. If a user tries to start a Control Panel program by another method, a message appears explaining that a policy prevents the action.
If yours is a standalone system (not a part of a corporate network), then try this:
Click Start, Run and type "regedit.exe" Press {ENTER}
Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Backup the key by exporting it (from the File menu, choose Export) as a REG file.
In the right pane of the above key, delete the value named "NoControlPanel" (if found)
Repeat the same in this branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Exit the Registry Editor.

when I click on start and window pops up the control panel option is missing.
When I click on "set program access and defaults: I get message " this
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
please contact your systems administrator"
