Hi,
I could swear that I use to have an item in Control Panel called "Internet
Options". It seems to have disappeared....
Could this be?
If so, How do get it back in there as it was pretty convenient....
Tx,

Hi,
It is not in te Classic View--at all.
In the category view, it must be Network and Internet Connections|Set up or
change your internet connection--is that right?

That's right, but it was also in my classic view. Sure it's not
just out of view? Do an arrange icons by name in the detail view.

You can reach the same Control Panel applet by launching Microsoft Internet
Explorer. From the MSIE menu bar, select | Tools | Internet Options |.

If the applet still won't launch, then it may have been modified to prevent
the applet from being launched. The actual applet filename for Internet
Options is "inetcpl.cpl" (no typing errors). "cpl" occurs twice in the
filename. If you can locate the file, double-clicking on the file should
launch the Control Panel applet.

The Control Panel applets (*.cpl) are in the c:\windows\system32 folder. In
some cases, administrators rename the applets to prevent end-users from
launching the applet. Or, the applet(s) may have been deleted or moved
without realizing their purpose.

Good link--I like those tweaks...
I am not sure if my personal "don't load" subkey is normal.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load
Default Reg_SZ (value not set)
Inetcpl.cpl Reg_SZ
Inetcpll.cpl Reg_SZ
Ncpa.cpl Reg_SZ No
Netcpl.cpl Reg_SZ
obdccp32.cpl Reg_SZ No

Where there is nothing after Reg_SZ it is blank in my registry
Is there anything weird there?
