I have a question about Make 
Control Panel Applets More Accessible:


Not a question, but an easy way to put a shortcut to the control panel on your desktop 
in XP.

Use the Start Menu to open the Control panel as usual.
Right-click/drag the tiny control icon in the top left corner of the window to your 
desktop and select "Create Shortcut Here" from the menu that pops up.

Quick and easy.
