How to find and add the Control Panel
You will need to go into your control panel at some time, whether to customize your settings, run a utility, or use one of the many other tools.
To open the Control Panel, you go to Start and click the Control Panel icon. But the Control Panel icon may not be in the Start menu. If the Control Panel icon is not there, it is easy to add.
Step 1. Right-click the Start button and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
Step 2. On the Start Menu tab, make sure the first (non-classic) Start Menu option is selected and click Customize.
Step 3. Click the Advanced tab.
Step 4. In the Start Menu Items list under the Control Panel section, select either Display As Link or Display As Menu. The former (the default) simply displays a Control Panel option on the Start Menu; the latter displays the Control Panel option with a cascading menu providing direct access to each Control Panel applet.
Step 5. Click OK twice to exit the dialogs.
