Re: i cant find my controll panel on win xp
I think you didn't read the instructions well.
As you said, you are unable to open GPEDIT.MSC even after the correct
spellings that means you are running Windows XP Home Edition and GPEDIT is
not available in Windows XP Home Edition. That is why I had given you the
alternate way of REGEDIT. As you said you can see the Control Panel entry in
REGEDIT but the entry name should be "NoControlPanel". I already told you
that modifying registry with incorrect manners can caused other problems. So
do it carefully.
1. Open REGEDIT and Expand Exact To the following location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
2. On the right-side pane, there should be an entry called "NoControlPanel".
3. Right-click on the entry and delete it.
4. Close the registry editor and restart your PC.
Hope this help, let us know!
