Control Panel CPL Files

The following are the files that display icons in the Control Panel. They reside in the C:\Windows\System folder. If you are missing any icons in the Control Panel, you want to make sure the CPL file is in the System folder. You can also remove (or hide) unneeded files by deleting them, moving them to another location, or renaming them (example *.cp~ or *.cp$)
