• 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.

• HP Deskjet 2050 'control panel' (for lack of better term) missing

  This morning, I clicked on the link that was created when I installed my HP Deskjet 2050 and the 'normal' Panel controls color black and blue with buttons to click on for printing, scanning, check the ink levels and all kinds of other things appeared.  I used this dozens of times link since I had this printer, and whenever I was sent to the good 'control panel' buttons to make things.

  I clicked on the "scan" button and went about my business-

  I scanned the 4 pages of homework in a single PDF.

  I went to my office and opened the .pdf to check the quality.  (I did not close the window of program analysis.  The Control Panel has been closed when open scanning window.)

  The scanner has been created to analyze the incorrect page size (results of a project from the beginning fo this semester) and I re-scanned 4 pages to the appropriate size.  Saved.  Check again once, it was fine this time.  I closed the digitization program.

  Later today, I clicked on the same link mentioned above, and for some unknown reason, I get a completely different screen.

  

  To the best of my knowledge, there have not been change file (last was 16/11/12, which was certainly not in the time I found the control panel that I use usually missing) or driver updates or something of the sort that caused my "printing, scanning, etc." link to no longer open the correct control panel.

  There is a "Control Panel" completely different available not an hour before that I started to see the Junk above.  (And the "Wizard of the printer" button above does - nothing - at all either!)  There are 6 or 8 buttons which included objects such as a scan of pages option and make copies.  The previous control panel was also much more black than white.

  How to bring back the old control panel with other options?

  Hello

  HP has released a new version of the software and the question that's happened as the software you are using is obsolete.

  Please remove the software by clicking Start > programs > HP > HP Deskjet 2050 > Uninstall.

  Download and install the new software below, which should solve the problem and bring back any option:

• Windows restarts when I select the option to remove the program from the Control Panel files

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed. System of the down stops and restarts whenever I select the option to remove programs from the control panel. First of all, the problem occurred when I upgraded the version of iTunes. Restoration has solved the problem. Same thing happened when I upgraded my version of PowerDVD. Restored again to solve the problem. Just installed Office 2010 and the problem came back. I don't seem to be able to install software without this problem. Any help gratefully received.

  Hi Rugger,

  Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  This issue could be happen if system files have been corrupted or any third party application conflicts.

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you perform a SFC Scan and check if it helps.

  Steps to perform a scan SFC:

  a. click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, and open the command prompt.

  b. type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  [The command sfc /scannow. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.]

  Once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 2:

  I suggest you perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

  Clean boot will check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  How to solve the problem by running the clean boot in Windows 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you have completed troubleshooting, perform the steps in the step 3: to reset the computer as usual.

• How to: using the same control panel for several vi and reproducing change to the control panel.

  I created a labview project that contains about 40 vi.  Each vi has a joint control panel which is a group of ip address, or address of the port and the parameters that are passed high-level vi at low level vi for the purpose of control and access our daq cards.  As this control panel exists in all the vi and must not be the same there is a problem when the need to make a change or update the controls during development.  The problem is how long it takes to go and change the control panel of each single vi.  I wish I had a way of reproducing a change in the Panel of control through all six simultaneously.

  All controls in the control panel are in a bundle, so all values are passed to 1 thread.

  I tried to turn the Panel in a sub vi and this way I can just "create control" and have output parameters maniuplate vi, but if I update the vi, I still have to go back and create a new control for each vi under the control has changed.

  I tried using secondary and the creation of the control panel in a sub vi which is displayed in the secondary, but gives the undesirable consequence of not being able to view or change the settings of the control panel if the program does not work, as pristine as when sub-panels program does not work.

  Is there a another way to display the front panel of a Subvi next using a panel of void?  Is there a better way to propagate changes in a bundle in a series of vi?

  Yes a def type might help you and I would take the next step to make a strict type def if you want the look to be the same on all its bodies. You can also view this nugget on Type definitions for more idea about it.

• How to set the regional settings of the control panel for the Dates

  original title: Control Panel regional settings for Dates

  I've already put the regional settings in Control Panel to date as follows: DD/MM/yy. But whenever I turn on my PC again, it goes back to this format: DD/MM/YYYY. How can I get there like JJ/MM/AA without having to set each time I turn on my PC? Thank you

  Thank you very much Palcouk! :)

  I solved it by formatting the excel fields to display the dates of my preference.

  I tried to close the excel files and restart my pc. Now the date format of the excel fields remained as I put IE JJ/MM/AA regardless of my regional date setting!
