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.

You can also create an original Control Panel not just a shortcut at your desktop by adding a new key and name it

under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
