recover icons in control panel

Several of the icons are missing in my control panel.
The only ones I know for sure that are missing are for
the mouse and there's no printer listed in the printer
icon. Both the mouse and the printer work like normal.
How could this have happened? I've had the computer for
almost two years now and it came with Windows XP. I have
Norton Antivirus/Firewall and I update and scan regularly.

I can't seem to find what icons Windows XP comes with, so
I don't know what all is missing.


Thanks!
 
Do you have Tweak UI or MS PowerToys installed? If so I believe there is an
option to display/not display icons in Control Panel. Maybe these were
inadvertantly set to not display.

If you don't have the above software, download it from MS and see if you can
re-enable any missing CP icons.

Good Luck,
Len
