Classic View In Control Panel In Windows 7




Windows 8.1 with all updates installed has the control panel on the right click context menu. As seen in the Windows 10 screenshot above, simply right-click on the Start button and choose Control panel to open it.


I have an odd problem: the icon mail (32) is there but it only show the busy icon and then nothing happen. so in order to make a new profile I had to start outlook from Run with /safe. I had removed the old profiles in Reg. but stil no luck to open the outlook control panel. any idea to fix the issue?


The Control Panel is a component of Microsoft Windows that provides the ability to view and change system settings. It consists of a set of applets that include adding or removing hardware and software, controlling user accounts, changing accessibility options, and accessing networking settings. Additional applets are provided by third parties, such as audio and video drivers, VPN tools, input devices, and networking tools..mw-parser-output .infobox-subboxpadding:0;border:none;margin:-3px;width:auto;min-width:100%;font-size:100%;clear:none;float:none;background-color:transparent.mw-parser-output .infobox-3cols-childmargin:auto.mw-parser-output .infobox .navbarfont-size:100%body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .infobox-header,body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .infobox-subheader,body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .infobox-above,body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .infobox-title,body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .infobox-image,body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data,body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .infobox-belowtext-align:center


Many of the individual Control Panel applets can be accessed in other ways. For instance, Display Properties can be accessed by right-clicking on an empty area of the desktop and choosing Properties. The Control Panel can be accessed from a command prompt by typing control; optional parameters are available to open specific control panels.[2]


The applets listed below are components of the Microsoft Windows control panel, which allows users to define a range of settings for their computer, monitor the status of devices such as printers and modems, and set up new hardware, programs and network connections. Each applet is stored individually as a separate file (usually a .cpl file), folder or DLL, the locations of which are stored in the registry under the following keys:


The control panel then uses these lists to locate the applets and load them into the control panel program (control.exe) when started by the user. In addition to using the control panel, a user can also invoke the applets manually via the command processor. For instance, the syntax "Control.exe inetcpl.cpl" or "control.exe /name Microsoft.InternetOptions" will run the internet properties applet in Windows XP or Vista respectively. While both syntax examples are accepted on Windows Vista, only the former one is accepted on Windows XP.[5]


These are options in the control panel that show devices connected to the computer. They do not actually offer a direct interface to control these devices, but rather offer basic tasks such as removal procedures and links to wizards (Printers & Faxes is an exception). Such applets include Scanners and Cameras, Game Controllers, and Portable Media Devices.


Windows Explorer in Windows 7 has undergone some major changes, one of which is the new Navigation pane. The classic tree view of folders and directories from Windows Vista and XP has been replaced by a list of groups like Favorites, Libraries, Homegroup, Computer, and Network. The Computer group does not display unused drives like the floppy drive or CD, DVD, or Blu-ray drives until you insert one of these types of media.


Today, we will see how to add the classic User Accounts applet to the Control Panel in Windows 10. By default it is hidden and only can be opened with the netplwiz or control userpasswords2 commands. Having it in the classic Control Panel saves your time, since you no longer need to type the commands.


In Windows 10, Microsoft is moving everything from the classic Control Panel to the Modern app called "Settings". It has already inherited many options which were exclusively available in the Control Panel. If you prefer using the classic Control panel, you might want to add some extra applets to it to make it more useful.


I am working on a computer that is running WinXP but is using the classic windows start menu. I've googled, but all I can find is how to change the Windows XP and/or Win7 Start Menu TO Classic Start Menu, but not how to change it BACK to Windows XP (Windows 7 has a utility to download to this). There's no option for it in the control panel either...just Windows Classic Style or Windows Standard views. I tried "taskbar and Start Menu" and although I see the new blue chrome design in the dialog box, it does not change the classic look to that Win XP look. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks!
