missing items n comtrol panel

In tweaking XP with Tweakui and with X-teq, somehow al lmajor items in the control
panel got lost like DIsplay, System, etc. If I create a ner User they are all there
but I lose all my settings which I don't want. I have undone all the tweaks, but
also messed about making sure I could open my Win98 Start menu of all my progs as
XP wouldn't give me access to them. The same Control panel view is in All Users,
and Default Users yet not in the new one.
Anyone got a fix for this apart from Clean install as I have reinstalled to no effect.

Have you checked "Control Panel" in TweakUI and made sure all the listings are checked?

Yep, and this time made sure it was the XP version, not the 98 one still in XP -
I even checked it before stopping it appearing on the control panel.

I have the exact same problem. I can only find them if I use the "new" view, but
I like the old one. Please someone tell us both how to fix our Control Panel and
get our icons back. :(
Thanks,
Magma

Oops! I messed up the reply. :)
Natch, I checked TweakUI about 10 times literally. Actually I went to see if all
*.cpl files which are the items in Control Panel, were all there and found Search
utility was broken, so cut my losses and did a new, Full instal of XP and all is
well now.
Thanks for the reply, though. :)
