I have an item in control panel which I would like to delete (an old version
of real player). It doesn't open and is of no use.

Search for *.CPL files. The real player control panel applet should show up
in the list of search results.
 
Already tried that, not listed :-(

That just means that the icon in Control Panel was not placed with the
usual *.CPL file. You'll need to dig into the tech support documents for
Real Player software to find out how to get that out of there. There is
probably some mention of the issue in their online tech support area.
 
Thank you, no real problem. Maybe just let it sit there. :-)

You're welcome. It certainly won't hurt anything just sitting there, it'll
just be annoying. ;) There are a few different ways this icon could have
been placed in Control Panel so the fix will be specific to whatever method
Real Player uses.
