Display or Hide Icons in control Panel

Hi.....here is the steps to hide or display icons in the Control panel. For eg., if u want to hide add/remove icon jusy follow below steps........


* Go to Start > Run and type regedit then press Enter.
* In the Registry Editor window, find the path like this,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don’t load

* Right click on ” don’t load ” folder and select New > String Value.

* Name the created String Value related to the Control Panel icon you want it to be hidden. To illustrate, I would like to hide the icon, Add/Remove Programs Option, so I must name the String Value appwiz.cpl . Each String Value name is specific and varies with the Control Panel icon.


* Double click on appwiz.cpl .

* Type Yes to hide the Add/Remove Programs Option icon and then click OK button.

* Open Control Panel, the Add/Remove Programs Option icon is now hidden.

* In case you want the icon to display again, just type No instead of Yes in Value Data dialog.
