hi,

beneath control panel - where can i find the email settings in windows
vista? in windows xp it was just mail and easy to find, but it seems that
settings had been changed in vista?!
 
sorry, but there seems to be a misunderstanding. i am not looking for the
windows mail settings. i am looking for the settings to be used for my
outlook 2007. i need to do something here, which cannot be done within
outlook -> account settings itself...

thanks in advance / danke im voraus - fritz

yeah, outlook with version 2007 is installed. but no mail icon available
beneath control panel... that is my problem!
 
You can try the following. Maybe it will work

Control Panel - Icons Missing

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT

Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load

Look in the right pane and you'll see the Control Panel Icons that have been disabled. You can either right click on the "don't load" subkey and select Delete to restore all disabled icons, or you can right click on each of the items in the right pane and select Delete to selectively restore them. Scroll up to Control Panel Applets for a listing of what each one is.

The change will be seen the next time you open Control Panel.

i followed your hint, but there is no "xp layout" control panel option given
in my system. maybe i misunderstood you?
 
there is no such reg key "don´t load" given in my system. however i created
one on my one and put "mail" inside as binary value. here i added 0 and
restarted the box, but still no joy. then i ran a cross check and added
"fonts" with a value of 1 (fonts is already given beneath control panel).
however it still appeared beneath control panel after a reboot of my laptop.

any (further) idea on this or regarding my still existing problem in
general?

Then why did you place Windows Mail settings in your header if you are not
referring to Windows Mail?
