Try to run this command, and see what happens:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. C:\WINDOWS\system32\appwiz.cpl
Just go to start->run, and paste it in.

Just a quick side note you can just type appwiz.cpl Windows looks in the system32 folder for the file.

How does one do a complete removal of MySQL so...

A while ago I installed Net 2.0 to our Server 2003 web machine, but the Control Panel folder icon for configuring Net 2.0 never made it to the Control Panel folder. Thinking this might indicate a botched install, I used the install.exe found in 2.0's "Microsoft .net framework 2.0" directory to repair the install. No change I can see. I can find the application exe whose icon is missing from control panel easily enough, but I wonder...

Hi All, I have written a small app in VS2005 called "coop" and now want to deploy to numerous machines. I have created a Setup project called "Setup" within the same solution, which works fine apart from one problem; When I look in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs my app appears in the list as "Setup coop" - is it possible to change the name that appears in Add/Remove Programs to make it more relevant to my customers?

When I install my application built using VS2008 C#, the application size is reported incorrectly. The application is actually 40 Meg in size. When you click on "Add Remove Programs" from the Control Panel my application appears in the list of installed programs but the size incorrectly is reported as 2.9 Gig. Where does Windows get the information on the application size and how do I get it to return the correct size? Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
