| Can you burn your candle at both ends?
| Seriously, it seems that I have gotten rid of the "scare ware." Boy, you
| wouldn't believe all the nasty files and registry keys that were there and
| SpyBot had missed them!! Since I'm having to sneaker net all the latest
| signature files to the scanning programs, it will be awhile before I can be
| certain that I've gotten rid of everything.
| I still have one problem that has several components. Here's where burning
| the candle at both ends comes in. The laptop still does not recognize the
| wireless card. Another component of this problem is that most of Control
| Panel is not working. If I could run Add Hardware it might take of the
| problem. Another component is that Device Manager shows nothing. Again, if
| Device Manager saw a problem device, I could easily fix it.
| If you, or someone else, has some suggestions I'm all ears. Isn't there a
| way to run the Control Panel applets from the Run command. I looked for
| .cpl files and couldn't figure out how to use them.
| Again thanks for your help.

| BTW, you might be interested in how I renamed the files that I needed to
| run. Going to the appropriate directory, I simply used the Copy (the .exe
| file) and Pasted it back into the same directory. This gave me a new .exe
| file named "Copy of PROGRAM.exe." I liked this because I ran the smallest
| possibility of forgetting the name of the original program, and when I need
| to restore it, I simply used the Rename command and deleted the "Copy of"
| portion of the new file name.
Run Regedit and go to;
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system
set NoDispCPL equal to 0 of it is set to 1.
