Write a new Control Panel Category

[Glenn]

Hello

Is there any documentation around which shows you ( if it is possible)
how to create a new category for the windows xp control panel.( in
category view)

I would like to create a new control panel category and have tasks in
it which fire off some of my code.

Does microsoft provide a way of doing this or are the categorties in
control panel not extensible?

Thanks in Advance

Glenn,

"As of Windows XP, Control Panel supports categorization of Control
Panel items. Windows XP provides support for third parties to add
their Control Panel items to existing categories. However, third
parties cannot add custom categories at this time."
