I never used ME that much, but I believe the value is in the registry, not the control.ini file.

Do a search for don't load and delete the key if found.

Yep, I came across the same issue yesterday, and it is the NoControlPanel value.

Cheers, Tony

Thanks Tony, I'll get that straight one day.

I actually came across this TweakUI issue at James Eshelman's site:

"TweakUI has a box to show Control Panel on Start Menu/Settings. If you uncheck this box, it removes the Control Panel entry. Unfortunately, this removes all routes to the Control Panel and its applets. Since TweakUI is on the Control Panel, you can’t use the same utility to get it back! This Registry Patch switches it back on. Thanks to MS-MVP Alex Nichol for the code. (Win-XP safe.)"

And then he proceeds to provide the 'patch', which is just this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoControlPanel"=hex:00, 00, 00, 00

Some patch ! /images/forums/icons/smile.gif

But very useful nonetheless!

Cheers, Tony

i read that you can go to find,files and type in tweakui or control panel one i forgot but it will find one of them and you can open it and reset it there

You could also go to Run and type in tweakui.cpl and that'll get you in for sure.
