Add Control Panel To Start

This gives you the entire contents of Control Panel when highlighted.

Right click on the Start button and select Explore.

Click on on blank spot in the right pane.

Select New and Folder.

Name the folder exactly as this:

Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

If you copy and paste don't leave any spaces after 30303D}

Are you using the XP start menu or the classic?

If your using the XP start menu right ckick start click properties then click the start menu tab then click customize
then click the advanced tab then under start menu items look for control panel and put a dot next to Display as menu click OK, Apply, and OK. It should then display like my screenshot in my previous post

by the way... It does work in XP Home for me...It adds it to the All Programs list and displays the contents when I point to it. but as I said you really don't need to do it.

Harry-- Be sure and follow the tip about the no spaces after the last symbol eg. } I never could copy and paste. I had to type it in.

All I get is a folder with the name...

Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309}

And a empty sub folder.

Buck--This is a little off the subject. I do a print screen and paste it into Paint and save it but cannot use it as an attachement because of the size. It comes out over 1MB. All I have is Paint and Kodak Imaging. I would like to be able to post the picture of my control panel expanded menu like this.
