Default noel paton - icon cannot display in Control Panel

Noel,
A while ago, I read one of your responses pertaining to the above subject
(or something to that effect). I cannot remember whether it is in the
w98/me/2k/xp forum. I would like to read that again and hope you dont mind to
point to that response again. I have tried to do a search in the ng or google
but without any luck. Thanks.

Noel is a frequent responder in Win ME, so try the newsgroup
microsoft.public.windowsme.general

You might try a search in Google Groups like this:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ic...ng=d&ie=UTF-8&
Vary the search string if necessary.

Another option is to post details of your exact problem so all can
help.

....Alan

Default noel paton - icon cannot display in Control Panel

Perhaps if you gave us an idea what icon does not display in your Control Panel, or
what error message you are receiving and when, someone here could help you. Noel is
often found in the Win ME groups, BTW.

Not knowing what your issue is, as you did not elaborate, I can only guess and
supply general info. You also do not state if you are using Win98/98SE, or some
other OS.

To troubleshoot error messages in Control Panel:
Click StartFindFiles or Folders.
In the "Named" box, type:
*.cpl
and in the Look In drop-down box, select the C: drive.
Click Find Now.

Maximise the window and click on the heading "In Folder" to sort the files by
directory. Look at the files listed in the \Windows\System directory.

Double-click each file in turn...if some work, but one of the files gives you the
error, that Control Panel file is corrupt.

To fix the error you must replace the .cpl file using the Extract one file option of
System File checker (SFC).

How to use System File Checker (SFC) to extract a file:

HOW TO: Extract Original Compressed Windows Files:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;129605#5


If none of the .cpl files works and they all give the error, they may be disabled in
the Registry, or the Control.exe file may be damaged or corrupted by a virus.

Description of Control Panel (.cpl) Files
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=149648

How to Troubleshoot Control Panel Issues in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=299923

If a particular Control Panel icon that should be present, is missing, and the
associated .cpl file is present in the %windir%\System folder, then that particular
..cpl may be disabled in the Control.ini file's [Don't Load] section.

If you get an Access Denied message when trying to open Control panel, extract a
new copy of RUNDLL32.EXE from either your Windows 98 CD or from the CAB files on
your hard drive, whichever you have, to the Windows folder, using the "Extract one
file" option of System File Checker (SFC).
