When I click on the control panel folder onthe left hand saide of
explorer (I have get it set to show a "folder tree") then I see only
these six entries althugh my full control panel has about 30
entries:

administrative tools
fonts
network connections
printers and faxes
scanners and cameras
scheduled tasks

How do I remove one of these six entries?

How do I add a different control panel entry to the six?

Those are not actually control panel applets in the sense of
containing sets of related cpl files, but rather direct access
to various control facilities that are also shown from the full
panel. For example Fonts - in either place - is really a
shortcut to the Fonts folder in Windows; Admin tools defines
which specific .msc file be run. These are inbuilt, and AFAIK
there is no way to change them, You get at the 'ordinary' CP
applets if you highlight Control Panel without expanding it
Click to expand...

I can see that I am not being very clear when I said I wanted to remove
them.

What I want to do is remove the shortcut icons for them from showing up in
the Window Explorer tree view of that the Control Panel folder.
