• How can I get rid of the icons on the control panel duplicate

  I duplicate several (100's) to be exact "bluetooth" icon on my control panel.  When I click on that it takes me to a screen that allows you to add the "bluetooth devices".  These icons all have the same date/time etc. accept for the name which are numbered sequentially (i.e.  Bthprops<100>. cpl.  There is one which I assume is the original "bthprops.cpl.  How can I get rid of all the other icons/duplicate files from my control panel?

  Hi RichardGrewe,

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 2: Scan the file system (CFS) auditor to repair corrupted files.

  Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

  Method 3: Follow these steps:

  (a), click on Start>find>files or folders.

  (b) search for .cpl.

  (c) through the results in the Windows\system folder.

  (d) delete the duplicates (with the same name).

• After download of Internet Explorer 8 I can't open all the icons in the control panel. On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 web from Microsoft Download Center.

  After downloading Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, I can't open any icons in the control panel.

  On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

  Help, please. Thanks Gene.

  Thanks Gene.

  Dear: :

  Running sfc/scannow will not replace the missing rundll32.exe file.

  Why you post methods that do not work and will be just wasting time?

  Hove you never even seen this problem before, tried to recreate it so that you can actually see, or have you never really fixed?

  Why you learn not what sfc/scannow does and does not do?

  Here is a simple test to you and all your colleagues in the technical support engineer:

  Rename or delete just your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe file is "missing".

  Rename rundll32.exe---> rundll32.xxx

  If you started normally, before you can blink, the 'missing' rundll32.exe file quickly and quietly replace the copy in the dllcache folder.  It is the Protection of Windows file in action and you will see something like this in the Event Viewer log system:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 64002
  Description:
  File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.

  I beg you to perform this simple test to know how the sfc/scannow:

  Boot your system to Safe Mode or the recovery for the Windows File Protection Console does not run.

  For this example, we will use the system critical file rundll32.exe.

  Rename or delete your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.exe file so the file is now "missing."

  A critical file, is it true?  It is on the list of the file 3498 knows the Protection of Windows and SFC files, but now he isn't.

  If Windows File Protection is running, the "missing" file would be quickly and silently replaced (try to rename or delete it in normal mode and it will be quickly and quietly replaced).

  Now, with your file rundll32.exe missing, start in Normal mode and try to use something like control panel to open something like Power Options and you'll see that familiar message:

  Control Panel
  Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

  Now you have recreated a common problem with the missing file and seen the error of our own eyes.  A Microsoft Support Engineer will usually suggest running sfc/scannow for this kind of problem, but it will not work or help and you can prove it to yourself, and now you have reproduced the error.

  You follow own advice and run sfc/scannow to the end.

  The rundll32.exe is always had disappeared, right?  Did run sfc/scannow replace the missing critical system file?

  How can he be so sfc/scannow is supposed to replace the missing system files?  This is because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

  Now you know sfc/scannow does not.  He did not replace your missing system file (don't forget to put your rundll32.exe back so you will have a).

  Now, go to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and delete or rename the file rundll32.exe from there - and it will be gone and not replaced automatically because the Windows File Protection does not seem after this record.

  Run sfc/scannow in full again.

  Replace the file rundll32.exe missing in the dllcache folder, since it handles missing files (not the system32 folder) IS the folder that sfc/scannow.

  Now you know sfc/scannow does.

  Do you need help to know too much about the corrupt system files?

  Since most people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, they will not be able to develop a copy of the file that is missing from the installation CD, they have not.

  After some directions on how to replace the file when the user has no XP bootable installation CD authentic and that will be useful to all.

  If you don't know how to say "I don't know how" and I'll help you.

  You want to inform/warn the poster that SP3 is installed that running sfc/scannow will take a long time for the installation of SP3 CD?

  If you do not have a CD with the same Service Pack as your installation (most people don't), the posters are in for a rough and frustrating time.

  Of course this will help with the detachment of the Ministry of Education of the impossible to try things that don't work, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 100th time.

• Unable to use power options icon of in Control Panel (xp)

  My friend has an Acer laptop running on Windows XP. However, after clicking on the 'power options' icon in the Control Panel, it does nothing. That's happened? I can manually download and reinstall something rather than having to perform a system restore? My friend was not aware that this icon does not work and therefore doesn't know how long it has been like that.

  Hello Azam K,.

  My apologies for my delay in responding but I've been away for a few days. Thank you for the feedback. However, so far I have not need make your suggestions because I managed to find a download on the Acer site for an Acer ePower Management application which seems to be what the power options icon was eager point to (I hope that makes sense?). The original Acer ePower Management software seems to be on the laptop but has been altered.

  Once again, thanks a lot for your feedback.

  Kind regards

  Stuart.

• Icon missing in Control Panel Accessibility Options

• How can I remove a duplicate 'Add or remove programs"icon in the control panel?

  Whenever I open the Control Panel on my computer, I see two icons "Add or Remove Programs". How can I fix this problem?

  Some of what you see in the Panel comes from Control Panel Extension files found in the folder c:\windows\system32 (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive).  If you look at our you will find some there. CPL files and those who do a lot of what you see in the Panel.

  The applet Add / Remove programs you see displayed in the Panel appears because there is a file there called:

  appwiz.cpl

  If you go to c:\windows\system32 and copy the appwiz.cpl file and call the copy something like jose.cpl then go to control panel, you will see so two addition / deletion of programs listed (and they both work).  Non believers, try it.

  If you see two copies of add or remove programs in Control Panel, both work?

  I don't know what your problem is exactly or how it got that way, but if you use the Windows Explorer and browse to c:\windows\system32 folder, and then click search for .cpl, you will get a list of all the .cpl in this folder files (and maybe also see copies of backup in the dllcache folder).

  Click the size column heading to sort the. CPL files by size, then look for appwiz.cpl in the list and then look for another. CPL file above or below that has the same size and date than the appwiz.cpl file and see what the name of this file is (as jose.cpl).  If there is another file that is the same size and date than the appwiz.cpl, that's your problem.

  If you find it will not know what it is, you can just rename the suspicious file to something ending with an extension .cpl (like jose.xxx) and see what things look like.  If things get worse, just rename the file, the original name and seek some other idea-ers.

  If you find the file that resembles appwiz.cpl and don't know what it is, tell us what you see and that someone can help you to understand.

• Mail icon missing in Control Panel Windows 7 64-bit

  I tried to set up my email in Outlook and this is the message I received. "' operation failed due to a registry or installation problem Outlook office 2007. So I did some research and found thatI need to create a new e-mail profile for solve the problem but my "MAIL" icon is missing from my control panel and I can not create a new e-mail profile. I tried to get through registry, tried to set Outlook as the program default for e-mail and still no luck. I use a new HP laptop with Windows 7 preinstalled.

  I tried, but the question is there is NO mail icon in Control Panel and I don't get an option in the control panel to switch to Classic view. The only option is to switch from large to small icons.

  The options are the category or big/small icons.  Small or large icons is standard view.
