Hello!
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.(thanks Kelly)
